Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- Thinly sliced roast beef – about 12 oz
- 12 soft slider buns
- 12 slices sharp cheddar or provolone cheese
- 2 tablespoons horseradish sauce
- Fresh lettuce leaves – 6 leaves, washed and dried
- Tomato slices – 12 thin slices
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened (for toasting buns)
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.
