Steak Sliders Ingredients
- shaved ribeye steak
- bell peppers, your choice of color
- onion
- oil
- garlic powder
- Italian seasoning
- red chili flakes
- salt
- pepper; optional depending on desired heat level
- cheddar cheese sauce or 10 slices of American cheese or Provolone cheese

For toppings, we keep it to onions, peppers, and cheese sauce. This is a great choice for making the best Philly cheesesteak recipes.
But, the best thing about this recipe is that you can mix it up how you like to fit your tastes!
How to Make Philly Cheesesteaks
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Chop bell peppers and onions and add to a pan greased with oil over medium heat. Sauté until the peppers and onions begin to brown and caramelize, about 10 minutes.
- Once browned, remove peppers and onions from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, add your remaining olive oil, then the shaved ribeye steak. Cook the steak until it browns – this should only take a few minutes.
- Once the steak has been browned, add peppers and onions back into the pan with it. Season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Add cheese slices and mix together thoroughly.
- Line the cardboard package of Hawaiian rolls with aluminum foil by making a cross shape underneath it using 2 pieces of foil. Halve your Hawaiian slider rolls and spread the bottom half with the filling. Place the bottom half of the rolls back in the original packaging the Hawaiian rolls came in.
- Add the top half of the buns back to the sliders. For an even richer taste and crisper finish, brush the tops of the buns with homemade garlic butter. Wrap the package securely in aluminum foil.
- Bake at 300°F for 15-20 minutes. Once done, remove from the oven and carefully unwrap from the foil. Slice into individual sandwiches. Enjoy!

Philly Cheesesteak Sliders Recipe Tips
- That little brush of garlic butter over the top adds so much flavor.
- Use as little or as much chili flakes as you like to vary the spice level of the dish.
- To cut the peppers easily, insert the knife into the pepper near the stem without going all the way through to the seeds, then rotate the pepper around the knife to remove the core.
- You can use a different cheese - like white American, Provolone, or Mozzarella cheese
Cheesesteak Variations
- Leave out the peppers and stick to the onions - some people prefer their cheesesteaks with fried onions only and no peppers!
- Add sauteed mushrooms and onions instead - this takes it into French Dip territory, but who doesn't love mushrooms and onions? Try pairing it with au jus to complete the French Dip experience.
If you don't live in or near Philly, here's a fun fact: Cheese Whiz is also a popular choice for topping cheesesteak recipes! In fact, the famous Pat's Philly Cheesesteak is made "with whiz". It's true: you can use Cheese Whiz if you happen to have it on hand and want to give it a try. And you should, at least once!
Philly Cheesesteak Sliders Recipes FAQs
Philly cheesesteak sliders use thinly shaved ribeye steak, though sirloin, skirt steak, and New York Strip can also be used if they are sliced very thinly. When it comes to choosing the best meat for Philly cheesesteak, thinly sliced or shaved steak is always the answer. Look for thinly sliced steak at your grocery store, or ask your butcher to slice it thinly for you.
Use Hawaiian rolls to make Philly cheesesteak sliders. Any party roll will work well, but Hawaiian rolls have the perfect flavor and texture for cheesesteak sliders. Plus, you can bake them right in the cardboard packaging they come in.
Brown your steak in a pan and cook it along with the other ingredients for the filling, then bake Philly Cheesesteak Sliders at 300°F for 15 minutes wrapped in aluminum foil in the box the rolls came in.
Can I make sliders ahead of time?
Prepare the peppers, onions, and steak ahead of time, and store until ready to use. Cooked peppers and onions are good for about 3 to 5 days in the refrigerator, while steak is good for about 3 to 4 days. However, for best results, we recommend making everything the day before if you plan to make this recipe ahead of time for an event.
Storing Leftover Sliders
If you happen to have leftover sliders, you can store them in an air-tight container in the refrigerator or wrap them in aluminum foil and store them.
To reheat, pop them back in the oven at 350 for 10-12 minutes until heated through for best results, or microwave individual portions if you prefer.
What to Serve with Sliders

- Steakhouse Mac and Cheese
