Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need
- Large pan
- Two forks
- Baking sheet
- Small bowl
- Basting brush
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
Step-by-Step Instructions for Preparing the Recipe
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and green peppers, cooking until they soften.
- Introduce the shaved steak to the pan along with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Use two forks to break apart the steak as it cooks, preventing clumping. Continue cooking until the steak is no longer red. Set the pan aside.
- Keep the 12-pack of sweet rolls intact and slice them in half horizontally. Place the bottom half on a baking sheet.
- Evenly spread the steak mixture over the bottom half of the buns, then top with provolone cheese slices and the top half of the buns.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, dried thyme, and Worcestershire sauce. Use a basting brush to generously coat the top of the buns with this butter mixture.
- Bake the sliders in the oven for 17-20 minutes, or until the buns are golden and the cheese has melted.
- Serve and enjoy!
