Ingredients

Scale

Sliders

  • 1.5 lbs. shaved ribeye (like Heritage brand)
  • 9-pack pretzel sliders
  • 9 slices provolone cheese
  • 2 medium white onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 green bell peppers, seeded and thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Cheese Sauce (Cheese Whiz)

  • 1 cup white American cheese
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese (or pepper jack for heat)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
  • 12 oz evaporated milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Garlic Butter Topping

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons parsley, minced
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  1. Caramelize the vegetables: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and green peppers. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until they start to caramelize and soften, about 15 minutes. Add a few splashes of water to prevent sticking and encourage caramelization. Season lightly with salt and then transfer to a bowl.
  2. Prepare the cheese sauce: While the veggies cook, combine the white American cheese, cheddar (or pepper jack), cornstarch, garlic powder, dry mustard powder, evaporated milk, melted butter, and Worcestershire sauce in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir frequently until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens, then reduce to a low simmer. Once it just begins to simmer, turn off the heat. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
  3. Cook the steak: In the same large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Spread the shaved ribeye in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes to sear. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Flip the meat over, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until just done.
  4. Combine steak and veggies: Turn off the heat and add the caramelized onions and peppers back into the skillet with the steak. Toss to combine evenly.
  5. Add cheese sauce to the steak mixture: Pour about ½ cup of the prepared cheese sauce into the steak and veggie mixture. Toss gently to coat all ingredients well. Adjust cheese sauce quantity to your preference.
  6. Broil the slider buns: Preheat the oven broiler. Slice the pretzel sliders in half and place the bottoms cut side up on a baking pan. Toast them under the broiler until golden brown, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  7. Assemble and melt cheese on sliders: Evenly distribute the steak mixture over the bottom buns. Top the top buns with a slice of provolone cheese. Place the topped buns under the broiler again until the cheese melts and bubbles, about 2 minutes.
  8. Complete assembly and add garlic parsley butter: Place the cheesy tops over the steak-covered bottoms. Mix the minced garlic and parsley into the melted butter and brush generously over the tops of the sliders.
  9. Serve: Serve the sliders immediately with extra cheese sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Use pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar for a spicier cheese sauce.
  • Adding Worcestershire sauce to the cheese mixture adds savory depth.
  • Watch the sliders closely when broiling to avoid burning.
  • These sliders can be made ahead and reheated under the broiler for a fresh taste.
  • Use good quality pretzel buns for authentic flavor and texture.
