Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Cheese
- 1 lb thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin steak (freeze 30 minutes for easier slicing)
- 6–8 slices provolone or American cheese (or cheese of choice)
Bread
- 6–8 soft slider buns
Vegetables
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
Other
- 2 tablespoons butter (for sautéing and toasting)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak: Freeze the ribeye or sirloin steak for about 30 minutes beforehand to make slicing into thin strips easier. Then, carefully cut into thin, bite-sized pieces for quick cooking and the perfect cheesesteak texture.
- Sauté the Onions and Peppers: In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add thinly sliced onions and bell peppers, cooking gently until caramelized and soft, about 10-15 minutes, developing a sweet, rich flavor.
- Cook the Steak: Push the onions and peppers to the side in the same skillet, increase heat to medium-high, add the steak strips, season with salt and pepper, and cook quickly until browned but still juicy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Assemble the Sliders: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the slider buns horizontally and place the bottom halves in a baking dish. Distribute the cooked steak and vegetable mixture evenly, then layer with provolone or your choice of cheese.
- Melt the Cheese and Toast Buns: Place the assembled sliders in the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese melts perfectly. Meanwhile, toast the tops of the buns in a skillet with a little butter for extra crunch and flavor.
- Serve Warm: Once cheesy and melty, place the toasted bun tops on the sliders and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Freeze steak first to make slicing thin strips easier and ensure even cooking.
- Use high heat to quickly sear steak and lock in juices.
- Caramelize onions slowly for best sweetness and flavor.
- Cook steak in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding and tough meat.
- Choose soft slider buns that complement tender meat and melty cheese.
- For added flavor, brush buns with garlic butter before toasting.
- Customize with different cheeses, veggies, or sauces to suit your taste.
