Description

These French Dip Sliders are a delightful twist on the classic sandwich, featuring tender roast beef dipped briefly in savory au jus, topped with sharp cheddar and melted mozzarella cheeses, crispy fried onions, and served on buttery toasted King’s Hawaiian rolls. Perfectly baked and brushed with garlic and onion butter, these sliders are ideal for gatherings or a comforting meal with a zesty side of horseradish sauce and extra au jus for dipping.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Rolls and Butter

  • 1 (12-count) package of King’s Hawaiian savory butter rolls
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons of butter (for spreading)
  • 2 tablespoons of butter (for brushing)
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon of onion powder

Au Jus and Meat

  • 1 (1 oz) package of au jus gravy mix
  • 2 cups of water
  • 1 lb of sliced rare deli roast beef

Cheese and Toppings

  • 6 slices of sharp cheddar cheese
  • 6 slices of mozzarella cheese
  • 3 oz of French crispy fried onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare rolls: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Carefully slice the King’s Hawaiian rolls in half lengthwise. Spread 2 to 3 tablespoons of butter evenly over the bottom halves of the rolls for a rich, toasty finish.
  2. Toast roll bottoms: Place the buttered bottom halves on an oven-safe baking tray and bake for about 7 minutes, until golden brown and fragrant.
  3. Prepare au jus and beef: While the rolls toast, prepare the au jus gravy according to the package directions using 2 cups of water. Dip the sliced deli roast beef into the hot au jus for about 1 minute to warm without toughening, then set aside.
  4. Assemble sliders: Remove the toasted rolls from the oven and layer each bottom half with sharp cheddar cheese, followed by the warm roast beef, a generous sprinkle of crispy fried onions, and finally a layer of mozzarella cheese on top.
  5. Top and season rolls: Place the top halves of the rolls on the assembled sliders. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of melted butter with garlic powder and onion powder. Brush this seasoned butter evenly over the top of the rolls.
  6. Bake sliders: Return the sliders to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and tops are golden brown and crispy.
  7. Serve: Remove from oven, slice sliders into individual sandwiches, and serve warm. Accompany with creamy horseradish sauce and the reserved au jus for dipping to enhance their classic French dip flavor.

Notes

  • Do not soak the roast beef in au jus for longer than a minute to avoid toughening the meat.
  • Use an oven-safe tray to ensure safe toasting and baking in the oven.
  • For extra zing, serve with horseradish sauce and the au jus on the side for dipping.
  • King’s Hawaiian rolls provide a sweet, buttery balance perfect for these savory sliders.
  • Adjust butter and seasoning amounts to suit your taste preferences.
