- In a small saucepan, simmer the beef broth, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, and thyme for about 5 minutes. Keep warm on low heat.
- Slice the entire tray of rolls in half horizontally without separating the individual rolls. Layer the bottom half generously with roast beef, provolone cheese, and the caramelized onions. Replace the top half of the rolls.
- In a separate small bowl, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter with the minced garlic. Brush this mixture generously over the roll tops.
Cooking
- Cover the entire slider tray with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 5 minutes, until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Cut the sliders into individual portions and serve warm with the savory au jus for dipping.
Notes
For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before assembling. Avoid overcooking the onions for the perfect caramelization.
