Ingredients:
- 450 grams (1 pound) sirloin steak, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons bacon grease or olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, sliced
- 2 ounces fresh mushrooms, minced
- 1/2 large green bell pepper, sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 12 Hawaiian Rolls
- 80 grams (1/3 cup) mayonnaise
- 6 slices provolone cheese
- 175 grams (3/4 cup) Cheez Whiz
Garlic Butter:
- 45 grams (3 tablespoons) salted butter, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon roasted garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Italian parsley, minced
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a baking dish or baking sheet and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat bacon grease or olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté garlic, onion, mushrooms, and bell pepper for about 10 minutes, or until softened. Set aside.
- In the same skillet, add sliced steak, sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook until the meat is almost done.
- Add the sautéed vegetables back to the skillet with the steak. Stir and simmer until fully cooked.
- Slice the Hawaiian Rolls in half horizontally as a whole, creating a top layer and a bottom layer.
- Place the bottom layer of the rolls in the prepared baking dish or baking sheet.
- Spread mayonnaise on the bottoms of the rolls.
- Layer provolone cheese on top of the mayonnaise.
- Pile the steak and vegetable mixture generously onto each roll.
- Add a dollop of Cheez Whiz on top of the steak mixture.
- Place the top layer of rolls over the Cheez Whiz.
- In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, roasted garlic powder, and minced parsley to make garlic butter.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with the garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle with additional minced parsley if desired.
- Cover the baking dish or baking sheet with aluminum foil to prevent the rolls from browning too quickly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the tops of the rolls are golden brown.
- Serve the sliders warm and enjoy!
Notes:
- Customize your sliders by adding your favorite toppings, such as sliced jalapeños or roasted red peppers.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute the sirloin steak with thinly sliced mushrooms or grilled tofu.
- Leftover sliders can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
