Ingredients
Let’s gather what we need to make these delicious little bites of heaven. You might even have some of these ingredients in your kitchen already!
- 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
- 1 onion, thinly sliced (sweet onions work great)
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced (fresh garlic adds more punch than powdered)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 ounces provolone cheese, sliced (or your favorite cheese)
- 12 slider buns, split (Hawaiian rolls are a sweet choice!)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for brushing on the buns)
- Optional: hot sauce or pepperoncini for a kick!

Step-by-Step Instructions
Alright, let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to create your Philly Cheesesteak Sliders.
- Prep Your Ingredients: Start by slicing your steak as thinly as possible. It helps to freeze the steak for about an hour beforehand; this makes slicing so much easier!
- Cook the Veggies: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Toss in your sliced onions and bell peppers, cooking them until they soften and begin to caramelize—about 5-7 minutes. Don’t forget to stir occasionally!
- Add the Steak: Push the veggies to one side of the skillet, then add the sliced steak. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spatula, until the steak is just cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Mix in with the veggies and take in that heavenly aroma!
- Assemble the Sliders: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a baking dish, lay the bottom half of the slider buns. Spoon the steak and veggie mixture evenly over the buns, then layer on the slices of provolone cheese.
- Cap It Off: Place the top halves of the buns over the cheese. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and garlic powder. Brush this mixture over the tops of the buns because, trust me, flavor!
- Bake to Perfection: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Your kitchen will smell sensational!
- Serve and Enjoy: Take out those sliders, slice them between the buns, and serve warm! Enjoy them with your favorite sides, like potato chips or a fresh salad. Don’t be shy with that hot sauce if you like a little spice!
Pro Tips & Variations
Life is all about experimenting, right? Here are some fun ideas to make your sliders even more exciting!
- Spice It Up: Add some chopped jalapeños or sliced banana peppers for an extra kick!
- Swap the Protein: Ground beef or turkey can also be used for an alternative texture.
- Ditch the Bread: For a low-carb twist, serve the cheesesteak mixture in lettuce wraps. It’s so fresh!
- Creamy Addition: Want a little richness? A dollop of creamy ranch dressing or a drizzle of Alfredo sauce can take these sliders to the next level.

Serving Suggestions
These delightful Philly Cheesesteak Sliders are so versatile! They make a fantastic appetizer or the star of your meal. Picture a game-day spread with sliders, a refreshing green salad drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette, and a side of crispy potato chips or sweet potato fries. If you’re feeling extra, pair them with a rich beer or a zesty lemonade for that perfect meal combo. You could also set up a slider bar with various toppings, like sliced onions, pickles, and even different cheeses. How fun would that be?
Storage Tips
Got leftovers? Lucky you! Here’s how to keep them fresh without losing any of that glorious flavor:
- Refrigerate: Place any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll stay good for about 3-4 days.
- Freeze: You can also freeze unbaked sliders for up to 2 months. Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and foil. When you’re ready to bake, no need to thaw, just add a few minutes to the cooking time!
- Reheat: To reheat, pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. This will keep that bread nicely toasted.

FAQs
Can I make the filling ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can cook the steak and veggies a day in advance, store them in the fridge, and then assemble and bake your sliders when you’re ready to eat.
What type of cheese is best for cheesesteaks?
While provolone is the classic choice, you can also use cheddar, American, or even a spicy pepper jack if you want to switch things up and add some heat!
Can I use a different type of meat?
Definitely! While thinly sliced steak is traditional, you could substitute chicken, turkey, or even a meat alternative for a vegetarian option. Just adjust the cooking time accordingly.
How do I prevent the buns from getting soggy?
Make sure you don’t overcook the filling, and try to assemble and bake the sliders just before serving. Also, brushing the buns with melted butter before baking helps create a protective barrier.
