How to Make Hawaiian Roll Roast Beef Sliders
Making roast beef sliders is very easy with minimal prep time. After all, sliders are just smaller sandwiches – at least that’s how I think of them. And making sandwiches isn’t rocket science. Follow these easy and straightforward instructions for the best roast beef sliders. Step 1: Slice and place the Hawaiian Original Sweet Rolls in a baking pan. Step 2: Saute green peppers and onions in a bit of olive oil in a skillet. Step 3: Add the roast beef, garlic salt, and cook for another 3 minutes. Step 4: Add the roast beef and vegetable mixture on the bottom side of each roll. Yes I promise the buns really are under that mountain of goodness that obscures the view! Step 5: Place the cheese slices over the top. Step 6: Add the tops of the Hawaiian sweet roll slider buns and brush with a mixture of a few tablespoons of melted butter, Worcestershire, and sprinkle garlic. Step 7: Wrap with aluminum foil and bake for about 15 minutes. Step 8: Remove the foil and bake for 5 more minutes, or until lightly golden browned on top before serving. Cooking time will vary a bit based how toasted you like your buns.
What Kind of Roast Beef Is Best for Sliders?
I use thinly sliced roast beef from the deli counter inside my grocery store. You need one pound. This is fast, easy, and foolproof. Horseradish, horseradish mayo, or another horseradish sauce are also nice if you want an extra punch of bold flavor. If you want to make beef au jus, by all means do it if you love extra juiciness and want more of a French dip sliders recipe. However I don’t find this necessary because these sliders are very juicy and finger licking good as-is! The other option is buying it prepackaged, also likely from the deli area of the grocery store. This is perhaps a bit cheaper but I think the taste and quality is better if you have them slice it for you but do what’s best for you. If you have your own homemade roast beef on hand, by all means use it.
Can I Use Another Type of Meat?
As an alternative, you can also use pulled pork such as my Slow Cooker Pulled Pork or Slow Cooker Cherry Cola Pulled Pork. Another idea is corned beef or sliced deli ham. Although if you’ve got ham on the brain, I’ve got just the recipe for you!
What to Serve with Roast Beef and Cheese Sliders
Roast beef sliders on Hawaiian bread are great even if you don’t serve them with anything else, or maybe just some potato chips or pickles on the side. Or if you’re serving them for an event, some of my favorite casual side dishes that pair nicely with the beef sliders appetizer include the following recipes:
Bacon Potato Salad – This no mayo Potato Salad with Bacon is ready in just 30 minutes! It’s a vinegar potato salad the whole family will love! Bourbon Maple Slow Cooker Baked Beans — The BEST baked beans ever! The flavors of bourbon, maple syrup, brown sugar, molasses, and BBQ sauce intensify and concentrate over time, and the resulting beans have incredible depth of flavor. Sweet with a bit of heat, robust yet smooth, and extremely satisfying! Grilled Corn and Avocado Salad – An EASY and HEALTHY salad that’s ready in 10 minutes and you won’t be able to stop eating it! Juicy corn, creamy avocado, cilantro, and fresh lime juice is a FIESTA in your mouth! Grilled Corn and Black Bean Salad – An EASY corn salad with black beans, zucchini, red onions, cilantro, lime juice, and more!
Storing Extra Beef Sliders
Sandwiches of any kind are best made and eaten fresh. If you do have extra sliders, they will keep airtight in the refrigerator for about 3 days. I’ve never stored them in the freezer. Note that the Hawaiian rolls will get soggy as time passes. There is nothing to be done to avoid it – it’s just the nature of a juicy sandwich over time and the bread it’s on.
