Let’s Make it Together
Prepare Your Beef : Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C). Season your beef roast generously with garlic powder and pepper. Sear it in a hot skillet until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Sauté Onions : In that same skillet, add sliced onions and cook over medium heat until they soften and turn golden brown. This should take around 10 minutes—don’t rush this step; those caramelized bits are pure magic.
Cook the Roast : Place your seared roast into a baking dish. Pour beef broth around it—this keeps everything moist and flavorful as it bakes. Cover with foil and let it cook in the oven for about 2 hours until fork-tender.
Slice & Melt : Once cooked, allow the roast to rest before slicing thinly against the grain. Meanwhile, return those glorious sautéed onions to medium heat with sliced cheese until melted.
Assemble Your Sliders : Slice your slider buns in half horizontally. Layer generous portions of sliced beef and melty onion-cheese goodness on each bun half before replacing their tops.
Bake & Serve : Brush melted butter over the tops of sliders then bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm and watch them disappear!
