About Philly Cheesesteak
The Philly cheesesteak, a mouthwatering sandwich born in Philadelphia, traces its roots back to the 1930s. Pat Olivieri, a hot dog vendor, invented it by putting grilled beef and onions in a roll. Cheese was later added, creating the iconic combination. Today, Philly cheesesteaks are a beloved symbol of the city, with variations and debates on the best toppings enriching its flavorful history.
Recipe Tips
- Perfectly Cooked Ribeye: For tender and flavorful Philly Cheesesteak Sliders, ensure you cook the ribeye steak just right. Searing it in a hot pan for a couple of minutes on each side until it's nicely browned adds a delicious touch. Make sure not to overcook it to keep the meat juicy and mouthwatering.
- Layering Technique: When assembling your sliders, use a thoughtful layering approach. Start with a base of sliced ribeye steak, ensuring an even distribution. Follow with a layer of provolone cheese to guarantee a gooey and creamy texture. The fried onions provide a crispy contrast, making each bite a delightful combination of flavors and textures.
- Glaze Application: The garlic butter glaze is a game-changer for these sliders. To evenly infuse the sliders with its savory goodness, pour half of the glaze over the steak layer before adding the cheese and fried onions. The remaining glaze goes on top of the second layer of Hawaiian rolls, ensuring a perfect balance of flavors throughout.
- Golden Brown Perfection: Keep an eye on the sliders while they bake in the oven. Aim for a golden brown color on the top layer of Hawaiian rolls. This ensures that the sliders are not only cooked through but also have a delightful crispiness. The golden hue indicates a perfect melding of flavors and textures, signaling that they are ready to be devoured.
- Serve Warm: Philly Cheesesteak Sliders are at their best when served warm. The melted cheese, combined with the savory glaze, creates a delightful experience that is heightened when enjoyed fresh out of the oven. Plan your timing so that these sliders can be served promptly, allowing your guests to relish the gooey goodness while it's still at its peak.

Wow! These are amazing! I made with leftover rare steak that I sliced thin. Also sautéed onions and mushrooms in place of the fried onions before searing the steak. The sauce is the must-have kicker.
