How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Sliders
Making these sliders is a breeze! Each step is easy to follow, and the results are absolutely worth it. Let’s get started.
Step 1: Prep the Beef
Freezing the beef for about 30 minutes makes it easier to slice thinly. Once it’s firm but not frozen solid, trim any excess fat, then slice it thinly against the grain. Season with Lawry’s Seasoned Salt and black pepper for maximum flavor.
Step 2: Cook the Beef
Heat a teaspoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a large sauté pan. Cook the beef in batches, letting each side brown evenly for about 2 minutes. Remove the beef to a plate and set aside. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure it stays juicy. If you’re a fan of outdoor cooking, making philly cheesesteak on blackstone is another fun way to prepare this classic!
Step 3: Sauté the Vegetables
Using the same pan, add a little oil if needed, and sauté the onions and bell peppers. Sprinkle a bit of kosher salt over them, and cook for about 7 minutes until the veggies soften slightly and release their aroma.
Step 4: Prepare the Rolls
Without pulling the rolls apart, slice them in half horizontally with a serrated knife. Place the bottom half in a baking dish or lined baking sheet. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and minced garlic, then spread this mixture onto both the bottom and top halves of the rolls.
Step 5: Assemble the Sliders
Start by layering half of the cheese slices on the bottom half of the rolls. Add the cooked beef evenly across the cheese, followed by the sautéed vegetables. Finish it off with the remaining cheese slices, then place the top half of the rolls on top.
Step 6: Butter the Rolls
Melt the butter and mix in a pinch of garlic salt and Worcestershire sauce. Brush this mixture generously onto the tops of the rolls. Save any leftover butter for after baking.
Step 7: Bake
Cover the sliders with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 10 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and the tops are golden brown.
Step 8: Serve
Once baked, brush the sliders with any extra butter for a beautiful shine. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for added color and flavor. Cut into individual sliders and serve hot!

Make Ahead and Storage
Sometimes, preparing ahead can make entertaining much smoother. These sliders hold up well for next-day enjoyment!
To make ahead, assemble the sliders with all layers except the butter topping. Cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Before baking, brush the butter mix on top.
For leftovers, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat sliders in the oven at 350°F for 10–15 minutes to restore their gooey, cheesy texture. Avoid microwaving to keep the rolls from turning soggy. While freezing isn’t ideal for assembled sliders, you can freeze the cooked beef and veggies separately for up to a month.
