Philly Cheesesteak Sliders on Hawaiian Rolls
These Philly cheesesteak sliders deliver all the flavors of the iconic sandwich, including shaved steak, melty cheese, and sautéed peppers and onions but are piled onto soft slider buns and baked with seasoned butter on top.
They’re a fun, shareable appetizer to serve for parties, game day or gatherings, yet hearty enough for busy weeknight dinners, too. I love serving them with an assortment of sliders like roast beef sliders, ham and cheese sliders, and cheeseburger sliders for variety!

Ingredients Notes
Find the full printable recipe with specific measurements below.
- Hawaiian dinner rolls: When I have extra time, I like to make my homemade Hawaiian rolls for something a little extra special.
- Onion, green bell pepper, garlic: Thinly slice the onion and bell peppers. Mince the garlic. Use whatever color bell pepper you prefer, if green bell peppers aren’t your favorite.
- Seasoning: Dry onion soup mix, salt, and black pepper.
- Butter and oil: For sautéing.
- Deli-style roast beef: I use 12 thin slices, but if yours are thicker, you’ll only need 6 slices.
- Provolone: A classic choice! You’ll need about 6 slices.
- For the topping: Butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and beef consommé.
How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Sliders
Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half, keeping them connected. Sauté the onions and peppers in butter and oil until soft, and then add the garlic, onion soup mix, salt, pepper, and finally the roast beef. Warm everything through.
Place the bottom half of the rolls in the dish, spoon the beef mixture over them, and add the provolone cheese slices. Place the sheet of top rolls on so that they sit aligned with the bottom ones.
Whisk the melted butter, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and onion powder, and then pour that over the rolls. Let it soak for 10 minutes.
Cover the dish with foil to bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes. Uncover for 2 minutes to give the tops a chance to brown. Serve warm with heated consommé for dipping!
Recipe Tips
- Keeping the rolls connected makes for easy serving!
- Don’t skip letting the topping soak in. That’s how you get the best flavor and gooey texture.
- I recommend thinly sliced meat to go along with thinly sliced veggies for quick and even cooking.
- Let them sit in the pan for 5 minutes before serving. That way, when you pull them apart, they won’t completely fall apart!

Recipe FAQs
Yes, you can use shaved sirloin or ribeye instead, just cook it first then remove to a seperate plate to rest while you saute the veggies.
Keep any Philly sliders you have left in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge. You can eat them cold, straight from the fridge, or reheat them in the microwave if you prefer.
You can! Bake and cool them completely. Wrap them individually in foil and transfer them to a freezer bag or freezer-safe container. Keep them frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw them in the fridge before reheating.
