French Dip sandwiches have always been one of my favorite comfort foods, and turning them into sliders makes them even more fun to serve.

These French Dip Sliders deliver everything I love about the classic sandwich — tender beef, melty cheese, and rich au jus — in a shareable, oven-baked format that’s perfect for gatherings.

They’re simple enough for a weeknight dinner but impressive enough for game day, parties, or casual entertaining.

Warm, savory, and dunkable, these sliders disappear fast once they hit the table.

How to Make My French Dip Sliders

Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.

• Slice the Hawaiian slider rolls in half horizontally, keeping the tops and bottoms intact as a full slab whenever possible.

• Place the bottom halves of the rolls evenly into the prepared baking dish, making sure they fit snugly.

• Layer the sliced roast beef evenly across the rolls, folding the meat slightly to create height and texture.

• Arrange the provolone cheese slices over the roast beef, covering as much of the surface as possible for even melting.

• Place the top halves of the rolls back onto the sliders, aligning them carefully with the bottoms.

• In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, onion soup mix, garlic powder, and black pepper until fully combined.

• Using a pastry brush, generously brush the butter mixture over the tops of the rolls, allowing some to drip down the sides for extra flavor.

• Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 12 minutes to allow the cheese to melt and the sliders to heat through.

• Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 8 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and lightly crisp.

• While the sliders are baking, heat the beef broth in a small saucepan over medium heat and stir in a splash of Worcestershire sauce to create the au jus.

• Remove the sliders from the oven and let them rest for 2–3 minutes before slicing to help everything set.

• Slice the sliders along the roll seams and serve warm with small bowls of au jus for dipping.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve with kettle chips or seasoned fries

• Pair with a simple green salad

• Add roasted vegetables or green beans

• Serve with pickles or pepperoncini

• Offer extra au jus for dipping

Tips for the Best French Dip Sliders

Use high-quality deli roast beef sliced thin for the best texture. Cover the sliders loosely during the first part of baking to keep them soft, then uncover to achieve a golden finish.

Serve the au jus hot so each dip is rich and flavorful.
