Traditional Cheesesteak vs Slider
The classic cheesesteak sandwich is a Philly staple, known for its thin slices of beef, melted cheese and crunchy hoagie bun. This cheesesteak slider recipe puts a fun twist on the traditional sandwich by using smaller slider buns and slicing the beef to the same thinness. The result is a tender and flavorful bite that packs all the deliciousness of the original sandwich into a convenient, manageable size.
cheese options
The Original Philly Cheesesteak didn’t even have cheese! They later added Provolone, and now you usually get a choice of Cheese Whiz, American, and Sliced Provolone Cheese.
onions
We love the added flavor of onions in a Philly cheesesteak. However, authentic cheesesteaks are served “with onions” or “without onions”, so the choice is yours!
Beef Options
For best results, choose a cut of beef such as ribeye, tri-tip, chuck roast, sirloin, tenderloin, or something else from the round, making sure to cut against the grain and trim off any bits of sinew to make sure the meat is not tough.
Popular add-ins
One of the best things about cheesesteak sliders is the variety of toppings you can add to suit your tastes. Some popular options are:
- Sauteed Peppers (sliced or diced)
- Sauteed sliced mushrooms
- Pickled jalapeno slices
- Spicy cherry peppers
- Long peppers
- sweet peppers
- lettuce
- tomatoes
- Marinara + toasted bun
- mayo
- Mustard
- Tobasco sauce
Cheesesteak slider tips
- To take these sliders up a notch, consider adding a smear of cream cheese. Soften the cream cheese by microwaving for 20 seconds.
- Slice the beef against the grain and trim off any bits of tendon to make sure the meat isn’t tough.
Storage and reheating instructions
To store your cheesesteak sliders, wrap them tightly in cling film or aluminum foil and place in an airtight container. They will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the sliders on a baking sheet and heat in a 350F oven for 10-15 minutes or until heated through.
