These savory Philly cheesesteak sliders feature thinly sliced ribeye steak, caramelized onions, and melty provolone cheese on soft slider buns, perfect for game day or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ribeye steak, thinly sliced
  • 12 slider buns (soft and slightly sweet, like Hawaiian rolls or classic dinner rolls)
  • 12 slices provolone cheese
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Optional: hot sauce or pickled jalapeños for a little kick

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice the ribeye steak, onions, and bell pepper. If the steak isn’t thin enough, freeze it for 15 minutes to firm up for easier slicing.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and peppers with a pinch of salt, stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes until soft and golden. Remove and set aside.
  3. Increase heat to medium-high, add more oil if needed. Add steak slices, sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and sear for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until just cooked through. Drizzle Worcestershire sauce over steak and stir well.
  4. Return caramelized onions and peppers to the pan with steak. Mix gently to combine flavors, then remove from heat.
  5. Slice slider buns in half horizontally. Lightly butter the insides and toast them in a clean pan over medium heat until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
  6. Spoon steak and veggie mixture onto bottom halves of buns. Top each with a slice of provolone cheese. Cover pan with a lid for 1-2 minutes to melt cheese.
  7. Place top bun on each slider and serve immediately.

Notes

Slice steak thin for tenderness; cook steak in batches to avoid overcrowding; caramelize onions low and slow for sweetness; toast buns with butter to prevent sogginess; cover pan to melt cheese evenly. Can substitute sirloin or flank steak, use vegan cheese and plant-based steak for vegetarian version, or gluten-free buns for gluten-free diet.
