How to Make Roast Beef Sliders With Au Jus

These beef roast sliders come together in just a few steps, and the oven does most of the work. Here’s how to make them:

1. Make the Au Jus (if you’re not using store-bought)

In a small bowl, mix together the butter, au jus powder, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and water. Stir until the seasoning is fully dissolved. Set it aside—this will be your buttery glaze and your dipping sauce.

2. Assemble the Sliders

Slice the sweet rolls in half horizontally without separating them. Place the bottom half in a baking dish or on a foil-lined sheet pan.
Layer on:

• 6 slices of provolone cheese
• Sliced roast beef (spread it evenly in two layers)
• Crispy fried onions
• Remaining 6 slices of provolone

Place the top half of the rolls back on to close the sliders.

3. Add Topping

Brush the tops of the rolls with some of your prepared au jus mixture. Make sure to save the rest for dipping later. Then sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top for a little salty crunch and extra flavor.

4. Bake

Pop the whole tray into a 350°F oven (or smoker, if you’re going that route) and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the tops are lightly toasted.

5. Serve

Slice into individual sliders and serve warm with a side of the remaining au jus for dipping.

That’s it! Gooey, cheesy, meaty perfection in every bite.

What to Serve With Roast Beef Sliders With Au Jus​

These beef roast sliders are super satisfying on their own, but if you’re serving a crowd or turning it into a full meal, here are a few easy sides that pair perfectly:

1. Crispy potato wedges or fries

You can’t go wrong with some seasoned baked potato wedges or even store-bought fries tossed in garlic powder and parsley. The crunch balances out the melty sliders.

2. Simple side salad

Something green helps lighten things up a bit. Try a quick salad with romaine, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and a zesty vinaigrette.

3. Coleslaw

Creamy coleslaw adds a cool, crunchy contrast to the warm sliders. Bonus: you can make it ahead of time.

4. Pickles or pepperoncini

A little tang on the side goes a long way. Serve a small bowl of pickles or pickled peppers to cut through the richness of the cheese and meat.

5. Soup

For a cozy dinner, pair these sliders with a warm bowl of tomato soup or beef barley soup. It turns this into real comfort food.

And don’t forget that au jus! It’s practically a side dish of its own when you’ve got warm, cheesy sliders ready to be dipped.
