Baked Philly Cheesesteak Sliders Ingredients

Before we get into the step-by-step instructions, let’s take a look at the ingredients required to make these Baked Philly Cheesesteak Sliders:

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 12 ounces beef skirt steak, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 12-count package Hawaiian bread rolls
  • 8 slices pepper Jack cheese
  • ½ large onion, chopped
  • ½ large green bell pepper, chopped

How to make Baked Philly Cheesesteak Sliders?

Now that we have our ingredients ready, let’s proceed with the step-by-step instructions to create these mouthwatering sliders:

1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef skirt steak, chopped bell pepper, and onion. Cook until the steak is hot and reaches your desired color, usually around 7 to 10 minutes.

2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil.

3. Slice the Hawaiian bread rolls in half widthwise, giving the appearance of two giant slices of bread. Place the bottom half of the rolls into the prepared baking pan, creating a base for your sliders. Spread the mayonnaise evenly on top of the rolls.

4. Layer 4 slices of pepper Jack cheese over the mayonnaise, ensuring even coverage. Next, add the cooked steak mixture on top of the cheese layer, followed by the remaining cheese slices.

5. Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese layer, completing your sliders. Brush the melted butter over the top of the rolls, enhancing the flavor and providing a golden, crispy finish.

6. Bake the sliders in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is beautifully browned.

7. Once baked, remove the sliders from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Use a sharp knife to slice the sliders into individual portions.

Additional Tips and Variations

– While the recipe suggests using pepper Jack cheese, feel free to experiment with different types of cheese to suit your preferences. Provolone, cream cheese, or even mild orange cheddar can be excellent alternatives to achieve different flavor profiles.

– If you don’t have Hawaiian bread rolls, you can use any mini sandwich rolls or crusty unsweetened dinner rolls as a substitute.
