Butter topping
  • 4 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Au jus
  • 2 cup beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan
  • 1 9x13 baking dish

Method
 

Prep and assemble sliders
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13 baking dish.
  2. Slice Hawaiian sweet rolls in half horizontally without separating the individual rolls, then place the roll bottoms in the dish.
  3. Layer the thinly sliced roast beef and provolone cheese evenly over the roll bottoms, then place the roll tops on.
  4. Whisk the melted butter with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and chopped parsley until combined.
  5. Brush the butter mixture generously over the roll tops.
Bake and make au jus
  1. Cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 15 minutes until the rolls soften.
  2. Uncover and bake at 350°F for 5 more minutes until the tops are golden.
  3. Simmer the beef broth with Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and garlic powder for 5 minutes to make au jus.
  4. Serve the sliders hot with the au jus on the side for dipping.

Notes

For pull-apart tenderness, keep the rolls tightly packed in the 9x13 and brush while the butter mixture is warm. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 3 days; reheat in a 325°F oven until hot. Freezing is not recommended because the rolls can soften further. If you want a gluten-free swap, use gluten-free Hawaiian-style sweet rolls in the same bake time.
