How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Sliders
Let’s Make It Together
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers, sautéing until softened. The vibrant colors of the veggies will add a wonderful aroma—remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced steak, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and fragrant; the scent will fill your kitchen with comforting goodness.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) as you prepare your slider creations.
Place your slider buns on a baking sheet, ready to embrace the delightful fillings.
Layer the cooked steak alongside the sautéed onions and bell peppers on the bottom halves of the buns. Let’s not forget the best part: top each with shredded provolone cheese, ensuring every bite is rich and luscious.
Cover with the top halves of the buns, pressing down gently. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is gloriously melted and the buns are slightly toasted. The golden tops will make your heart flutter!
Serve warm and enjoy every delicious bite!
