AUTHOR’S NOTE
The Roast Beef Sliders I Could Eat Every Single Day!
When I was pregnant with my youngest, my appetite got super picky. The only things I could handle? Arby’s sliders, turkey sandwiches, and this pasta salad. Oh, and every now and then, a lemon bar would hit the spot too.
We lived right next to an Arby’s, so I basically ate there non-stop for a couple of weeks—lunch, dinner, snacks… even breakfast sometimes. So yeah, I really know my Arby’s sliders.
These Roast Beef Sliders are a twist on my French Dip Sliders that went viral on Pinterest and have been pinned over a million times! This version has tender roast beef, melty Swiss, horsey sauce, and a buttery topping that makes them taste so good.
Roast Beef Sliders Ingredients
Sliders:
- Hawaiian rolls: Grab soft, fresh rolls for the best texture. The sweet rolls are a nice contrast to the savory filling and topping. You could always make your own rolls if you’re wanting a project!
- Mayo: Use a good brand of mayo for the best creaminess. Best Foods® is a reliable and It is worth using full-fat.
- Horsey Sauce: The horsey sauce adds a unique, tangy flavor. Grab Arby’s horsey sauce from your local Arby’s or grocery store. If you can’t find it, don’t worry, these sliders are still tasty without it.
- Deli roast beef: Choose deli roast beef that’s sliced thin. The rarer, the better so it will stay tender and keep it’s moisture even after baking.
- Swiss cheese: Look for thinly sliced cheese that melts well for the best creaminess.
Topping
- Butter: This is the base for the herbed-butter topping. Melt in the microwave then set it aside to cool down a bit before adding in the other ingredients.
- Dried Minced Onion: Adds a nice onion flavor to the butter topping. If you don’t love onions, replace with dried minced garlic.
- Dijon Mustard: Adds a tangy flavor and helps thicken the butter topping.
- Worcestershire Sauce: A small amount adds a rich flavor. Look for versions with less sodium if you’re watching salt intake.
- Poppy Seeds: Offers a sweet slight crunch. (Use leftovers in a reliable Poppy Seed Dressing).
- Garlic Powder: This adds a subtle garlic flavor throughout.
