Let me tell you—Philly Cheesesteak Sliders are always a hit. Whether you’re feeding a hungry family, hosting game day, or just craving something cheesy and satisfying, these sliders deliver every time.

Juicy steak, melty cheese, buttery rolls… what’s not to love? They’re easy to whip up, kid-friendly, and perfect for sharing. Bonus: the leftovers (if you’re lucky to have any) are just as amazing.

What You’ll Need

Ingredients

  • 1 lb thinly sliced ribeye steak or steak strips
  • 1 medium onion, sliced thin
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced thin
  • 8 slices provolone cheese
  • 1 package of slider buns (12 count)
  • 3 tbsp butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
all ingredients for Philly Cheesesteak sliders

Pro Tips

  1. Freeze the steak for 15 minutes before slicing – It makes cutting super thin slices way easier.
  2. Toast the buns lightly before assembling – Helps keep them from getting soggy.
  3. Don’t skip the Worcestershire sauce – Adds that deep, savory flavor you expect from a Philly cheesesteak.
  4. Keep an eye on the cheese – You want it perfectly melted but not overdone.
  5. Make it kid-friendly – If your kids don’t love bell peppers, leave them out or use milder veggies like mushrooms.

Tools You’ll Need

  • Chef’s knife
  • Cutting board
  • Cast iron skillet or frying pan
  • Spatula
  • Baking sheet
  • Pastry brush

Make It Your Way

  • Meat: Use ground beef, deli roast beef, or even chicken for a twist.
  • Cheese: Swap provolone for mozzarella, Swiss, or cheddar.
  • Bread: Hawaiian rolls add a touch of sweetness, or try ciabatta for a heartier option.
  • Veggies: Add mushrooms or skip the bell peppers if preferred.

Make Ahead Tips

  • Prep all your veggies and steak the day before. Store them in airtight containers in the fridge.
  • Assemble the sliders a few hours ahead, cover tightly, and refrigerate until ready to bake.

Instructions

1. Prep the Ingredients

Slice the ribeye steak into thin strips, slice the onions and bell peppers, and mince the garlic.

2. Cook the Steak and Veggies

Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the onions and bell peppers for 4-5 minutes until soft. Add the steak, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, cooking until the steak is browned and fully cooked.

3. Prepare the Buns

Slice the slider buns in half, keeping the tops and bottoms connected. Place the bottom halves on a baking sheet.

4. Assemble the Sliders

Spread the cooked steak and veggie mixture evenly over the bottom buns. Lay the provolone slices on top. Place the top halves of the buns over the filling.

5. Add Butter and Bake

Mix melted butter with minced garlic, then brush it generously over the tops of the buns. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes or until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted.

6. Serve

Once baked, remove the sliders from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes. Use a sharp knife to separate the sliders, and serve them warm. Pair with your favorite dipping sauces like garlic aioli or ketchup, or enjoy as is!

Leftovers and Storage

  • Fridge: Store leftover sliders in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating: Pop them in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 8-10 minutes to warm through.
