FAQs

What type of steak should I use?

Thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin is ideal, but deli-sliced roast beef also works well for a shortcut.

Can I make these sliders ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the sliders ahead and refrigerate them. Bake just before serving.

Do I have to use bell peppers and onions?

No, they’re optional. They add flavor and texture, but you can skip them for a simpler version.

What cheese melts best for these sliders?

Provolone is traditional, but mozzarella, cheddar, or Swiss also melt beautifully.

Can I freeze steak and cheese sliders?

What sides go well with steak sliders?

Fries, chips, a simple salad, or coleslaw pair well for a complete meal.

Can I make them without Worcestershire sauce?

Yes. It adds depth, but you can skip it or substitute with a splash of soy sauce.

Are these good for a party?
