Instructions

Prepare the Buns: Slice the slider buns horizontally if they aren’t pre-sliced. Lightly butter the cut sides, then toast them in a skillet or oven until golden-brown to add a slight crunch and buttery flavor, preventing sogginess.
Warm the Roast Beef: Gently warm the thinly sliced roast beef in a pan over medium-low heat or briefly in the microwave for about 30 seconds to release aromas without drying out the meat.
Assemble the Sliders: Spread a generous layer of horseradish sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Add a few slices of roast beef, then top with a slice of cheese, a leaf of fresh lettuce, and a tomato slice. Place the top bun and press lightly to secure.
Final Toast (Optional): For melted cheese, place assembled sliders under a broiler for 1–2 minutes, watching carefully until the cheese bubbles and softens.

Notes

Use freshly sliced deli roast beef or leftover roast for best flavor and texture.
Balance beef and toppings amounts to keep sliders easy to handle and eat.
Fresh slider buns improve taste and texture; avoid day-old buns that crumble or dry out.
Horseradish sauce or mustard adds moisture and flavor zing, preventing dryness.
Assemble sliders immediately before serving to avoid soggy buns and preserve freshness.
