how to make Philly Cheesesteak Sliders
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 large green pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 pound of fresh shaved steak
- 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 – 12 pack of sweet bread buns
- 6 slices of provolone cheese
- 1 tablespoon of melted butter
- 1 teaspoon of dried thyme (not ground)
- 1/2 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and green peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they are softened.
- Add the shaved steak to the pan along with the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and salt and pepper. Cook until the steak is no longer red, breaking it apart to prevent clumping. Once cooked, set the pan aside.
- Slice the sweet rolls in half horizontally while keeping the 12-pack intact, and place them on a baking sheet.
- Spread the steak mixture over the bottom half of the buns. Top with the provolone cheese slices, then put the top half of the buns back on.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, dried thyme, and Worcestershire sauce. Brush this mixture over the top of the buns.
- Bake in the oven for 17-20 minutes until the buns are golden and the cheese has melted. Serve and enjoy!
