French dip fans—get ready to meet your new favorite game day appetizer. We took all the best parts of the classic sandwich—melty provolone cheesy, flavorful roast beef, caramelized onions and the jus (of course)—and incorporated them into slider form, so everyone at your Super Bowl bash can have a taste. Plus, these sliders are quick and easy to make (ready in under an hour!), so whether you’re looking for a way to feed your fam in a pinch or need a last-minute Super Bowl appetizer, these cheesy, extra-flavorful sliders are the way to go. Here’s everything you need to know:
How to make French dip sliders:
— The buns. Really any slider buns will work beautifully in this recipe. If you want an extra-sweet and pillow-soft slider, go for Hawaiian sweet rolls.
— The meat. While we use boneless ribeye steaks to make our classic French dip, we went with thinly sliced deli roast beef for these sliders for ease and convenience (plus, they’re still completely delicious).
— The toppings. In our book, no French dip is complete without provolone cheese and caramelized onions. Tip: We cook our onions for only 15 minutes on the stovetop because they’ll continue to cook in the oven, so don’t overcook before assembling your sliders!
How to make the jus:
Ah, the star of the show. We created it with just a few simple ingredients: garlic, beef broth, Worcestershire and thyme. For ease, we left out the beef drippings, but trust us—it’s every bit as flavorful for these sliders. Cooked down until reduced and slightly thickened, this simple sauce is an absolute dipping must.
What to serve with French dip sliders:
These sliders would be an excellent filling addition to your game day appetizer spread, but if you’d prefer for the sliders to be the star of the show, serve these alongside roasted potatoes, sweet potato chips or coleslaw. Want a whole spread of sliders? Pair this with our ham and cheese sliders and pull-apart cheeseburger sliders to pull, share and snack all game day long.
French dip variations:
Can’t get enough of these classic flavors? Incorporate them into even more party favorites, like our French dip squares, French dip pinwheels, and French dip bites.
