Ingredients for French Dip Sliders with Au Jus

Gathering the right ingredients is half the battle with these sliders, and trust me, every single one plays a crucial role! Here’s exactly what you’ll need:

• 12 slider buns (split in half, I like Hawaiian rolls for sweetness or potato rolls for softness)
• 1 lb thinly sliced roast beef (deli-style works great, ask for it sliced thin but not shaved)
• 8 oz provolone cheese slices (about 12 slices to cover all the sliders)
• 1/4 cup butter, melted (salted gives the best flavor here)
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (that umami kick is essential!)
• 1 tsp garlic powder (not garlic salt, we want pure garlic flavor)
• 1 tsp onion powder (adds depth without crunchy bits)
• 2 cups beef broth (low-sodium lets you control the saltiness)
• 1 tbsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water (our au jus thickening dream team)

Ingredient Substitutions

No provolone? No problem! Here are my tested swaps:

• Cheese: Swiss or mozzarella works beautifully (though Swiss gets extra melty)
• Buns: Gluten-free slider buns or even mini ciabatta rolls in a pinch
• Meat: Leftover sliced steak or even turkey for a lighter version
• Broth: Beef consommé makes an ultra-rich au jus alternative

The key is keeping the ratios similar, too much change and you’ll lose that perfect French dip magic!

How to Make French Dip Sliders with Au Jus

Okay, let’s get these heavenly little sandwiches going! I’ve made these French Dip Sliders with Au Jus so many times I could do it in my sleep, but don’t worry, I’ll walk you through every step:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. This gives it time to reach the perfect temperature while you assemble.
2. Prep your baking dish by placing the bottom halves of your slider buns in a single layer (a 9×13 dish fits standard slider packs perfectly).
3. Layer on the goods! First goes the roast beef; I like to fold each slice gently for texture. Then drape those beautiful provolone slices over the top (they’ll melt down perfectly).
4. Top it off with the bun tops, and press down gently so everything sticks together.
5. Make that magical glaze by whisking melted butter with Worcestershire, garlic powder, and onion powder. Brush it generously over the tops. This creates that golden, flavorful crust.
6. Bake for 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the buns are toasted (your kitchen will smell amazing).
7. Meanwhile, make the au jus: Heat beef broth to a simmer, then mix cornstarch with water and whisk it in. Cook 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
8. Slice into individual sliders (a pizza cutter works wonders here) and serve immediately with warm au jus for dipping!

Tips for Perfect French Dip Sliders

Here’s what I’ve learned after many batches (and a few oops moments):

• Don’t overstuff too much meat makes messy sandwiches that fall apart.
• Keep au jus warm in a small crockpot or thermos if serving buffet-style.
• Brush sides too, that butter mixture makes every bite delicious.
• Watch closely oven temps vary, and nobody wants burnt buns!

Follow these, and you’ll have slider perfection every time!

Serving Suggestions for French Dip Sliders with Au Jus

Oh, the fun part deciding what to serve with these French Dip Sliders with Au Jus! My go-to move is keeping things simple but satisfying. A big bowl of crispy steak fries for dunking in that extra au jus (trust me, people fight over it!), some tangy dill pickles to cut through the richness, and maybe a simple arugula salad if you’re feeling fancy. Game day? Add some spicy buffalo wings to the spread. Brunch? Swap the fries for hash browns. Honestly, these sliders are so versatile that they’ll make anything you pair with them taste better!

Storing and Reheating French Dip Sliders with Au Jus

Here’s my golden rule for leftovers: always store the sliders and au jus separately! If you toss them together, you’ll end up with a soggy mess. Just pop any leftover sliders in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The au jus keeps beautifully in a jar or container for about the same time. To reheat, warm the sliders in a 300°F oven for 10 minutes (to keep them crispy) and gently reheat the au jus on the stove. They come out nearly as good as fresh!

Nutritional Information

Now, let’s talk numbers, but remember, nutrition varies based on your specific ingredients! For one of these French Dip Sliders with Au Jus (and yes, I’ve done the math after making them approximately a million times), you’re looking at:

• 210 calories per slider
• 14g protein (thanks to that hearty roast beef!)
• 12g fat (6g saturated blame the delicious cheese and butter)
• 15g carbs (mostly from those soft slider buns)
• 480mg sodium (the au jus packs flavor, so go low-sodium broth if watching salt)

Not bad for something this satisfying, and honestly, who stops at just one?
