A sensational twist on a much-loved classic, this Philly Cheesesteak Sliders recipe packs all the savory and cheesy flavors of a traditional Philly sandwich into just a couple of bites! Kick up your game day menu with these easy shaved steak sliders.
Preheat the oven to 350° F (175° C) and lightly spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Stir together Worcestershire sauce (2 TBL), mustard (1 tsp), garlic powder (1 tsp), salt (1 tsp), and pepper (½ tsp) in a small bowl and set aside.
In a large (cast iron skillet) heat oil (1-2 TBL) and add sliced onions (1 large) and green peppers (1 large). Cook, stirring occasionally over medium heat until peppers are soft and onions have caramelized slightly. Move to the side of the pan, or if the pan is too small, remove it to a plate.
Increase heat to medium-high heat adding shaved steak (1 Lb), using tongs, and tossing the shaved steak working quickly to prevent the shaved steak from clumping. Cook until the steak is slightly pink, but mostly browned. Pour in Worcestershire sauce, mustard, garlic powder, salt and pepper that you mixed earlier, stirring to coat the shaved steak.
Stir the onions and peppers back into the beef, then remove from heat.
Slice rolls in half horizontally while keeping the rolls together, set aside the tops. Place bottom of rolls in prepared baking dish and spread the the meat and onion mixture evenly over the top. Tip: Slice the bottom half slightly thicker so the rolls don't get too soggy.
Top with overlapping slices of provolone cheese, then return the top of the buns to the sandwiches.
In a small bowl mix together melted butter (3 TBL), Worcestershire (1 TBL), Dijon mustard (1 tsp), brown sugar (2 tsp), garlic powder (¼ tsp), onion powder (¼ tsp) and thyme (1 tsp).
Pour the mixture slowly over the top of the rolls, using a brush to get between the rolls and on the sides.
Cover with foil and place sliders in the oven and bake for 25 minutes, remove foil and bake additional 7-10 minutes until cheese is melted and sliders are golden. Serve immediately.

Notes
Variations
Gluten-free Philly Cheesesteak Sliders | Replace rolls with a similar GF roll and use gluten-free spices like McCormick. Lee & Perrin's the most popular is actually gluten-free, whereas Annie's Organic is not.
Alternative Rolls | Use your favorite slider roll or bun!
Dairy Free | Substitute the butter in the sauce with oil and use your favorite dairy-free brand of cheese to top it off. Or, omit the cheese if you’d prefer.
Make it Yours | Add mushrooms to the veggies when sauteeing, use rosemary or your favorite seasoning.
Keeping sliders from getting soggy | Slice the bottom half of the rolls slightly thicker than the tops. Or toast the bottom half of the buns for a few minutes before adding the meat and cheese. The buttery sauce caramelizes on the bottom creating a delicious, warm, slightly sweet crust.
Make Ahead Tips

Wrap sandwiches individually in foil and place them in a slow cooker on the warm setting.Store any leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container, rewarm in 300° F (150° C) oven for 15-20 minutes.Freeze | Philly Sliders are extremely freezer friendly. Make up a bunch ahead of time and pop in the freezer. If frozen, cook in a 300 degree oven for 15-20 minutes longer. I recommend thawing in the fridge before baking, bake as directed.
