Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

shaved ribeye steak (or very thinly sliced steak)
avocado oil
yellow onion
mushrooms
salt
black pepper
garlic
blue cheese dressing
Hawaiian rolls
shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
melted butter
poppyseeds

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
In a large skillet, heat avocado oil over high heat. Add the shaved ribeye and cook until no longer pink, about 4–5 minutes. Transfer steak to a separate bowl.
In the same pan, add sliced onions, mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Cook over high heat for 6–8 minutes, until onions start to caramelize and mushrooms are soft.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Remove from heat.
Add the blue cheese dressing to the bowl of cooked steak and toss to coat evenly.
Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping them connected like a sheet. Place the bottom half into the prepared casserole dish.
Spread the blue cheese-coated steak over the rolls. Top with the onion and mushroom mixture, followed by shredded cheese.
Place the top half of the rolls over the filling.
Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with poppyseeds.
Bake uncovered for 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Variations

Cheese Swap: Try crumbled blue cheese instead of dressing for a bolder flavor, or use Swiss or cheddar for a milder option.
Make It Spicy: Add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the steak mixture.
Use Chicken or Turkey: Sub in thinly sliced cooked chicken or turkey for a lighter variation.
Low-Carb Option: Serve the steak mixture in lettuce wraps instead of rolls.
Add Greens: Stir in arugula or baby spinach after cooking for a peppery bite.
Grill It: Make it summertime-friendly by cooking the steak on the grill before assembling.

Storage/Reheating

Refrigerator: Store leftover sliders in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Freezer: Freeze fully assembled (but unbaked) sliders tightly wrapped in foil for up to 1 month. Bake from frozen at 375°F, adding 5–10 minutes to cook time.

Reheating: Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10–12 minutes. You can also microwave individual sliders for 30–45 seconds, though the bread may soften.

FAQs

Can I use a different cut of steak?

Yes. Flank steak, skirt steak, or even thinly sliced sirloin all work well as substitutes for ribeye.

Can I make these sliders ahead of time?

Yes. Assemble the sliders up to a day ahead, cover, and refrigerate. Bake just before serving.

Is there a substitute for blue cheese dressing?

You can use ranch, aioli, or garlic mayo if you’re not a fan of blue cheese.

Do I have to use Hawaiian rolls?

No. Slider buns, dinner rolls, or even mini ciabatta rolls will work. Hawaiian rolls just add a sweet contrast to the savory filling.

How do I keep the sliders from getting soggy?

Let the filling cool slightly before assembling, and avoid over-saturating the steak with too much dressing.

Can I make these gluten-free?

Yes. Use gluten-free slider buns and check that all other ingredients (especially dressing) are gluten-free.

Can I add extra toppings?

Absolutely! Try adding pickled onions, arugula, or roasted red peppers before baking.

What sides go well with these sliders?

Serve with coleslaw, chips, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad for a complete meal.

Can I double the recipe for a crowd?

Yes. Simply double the ingredients and use two casserole dishes or a large sheet pan.

What’s the best way to slice the sliders?

Use a serrated knife to slice them cleanly into individual portions after baking and resting.
