- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 onion or 1/2 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix
- 3/4 cup beef broth
- 16 Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
- 8 ounces Swiss cheese sliced
- 6 tablespoons butter melted
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 3/4 teaspoon onion powder

- 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles
- 3 tablespoons sour cream
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise

Instructions
Prepare the Roast Beef
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Rub salt and pepper over all sides of the roast. Sear the roast until browned on all sides. Place the roast in a Dutch oven or oven-safe roasting pan. Add onion (or onion soup mix) and beef broth. Cover and cook for 2 - 2 1/2 hours.
- Once the internal temperature reaches 195-205° F, it is ready to shred. To test that it's ready to shred, place a fork in the center of the roast and twist it. If it twists easily the roast is read it shred. If it still feels tough, it needs more time. Use two forks to shred the roast beef. Stir 1/4 cup drippings into the shredded beef to keep it moist.
For the Sliders
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Carefully cut off 2 rows of 4 (8 rolls) from the 24-count slab of Hawaiian rolls, creating a 4x4 square of rolls. Save for another meal.
- Without separating the rolls, slice the 4x4 slab horizontally to create a top and bottom layer. Place the bottom half in the prepared dish and set the top aside.
- If using leftover shredded beef, warm it with ¼ cup beef broth over medium heat until heated through. Add additional broth if needed to moisten the meat. Drain off excess liquid.
- Evenly layer the shredded beef over the bottom half of the rolls (about 2 tablespoons per slider). Top with Swiss cheese. Place the top slab of rolls over the cheese.
- In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and onion powder. Brush evenly over the tops of the rolls.
- Cover loosely with foil and bake for 20–25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and sliders are heated through. Remove the foil during the last 5 minutes if you’d like the tops lightly golden.
- Serve the warm sliders with sauce on the side.
Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce (optional)
- Combine blue cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, green onions, horseradish, and pepper in a small bowl. Stir well. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
If using leftover shredded roast beef, you will need 2 cups. You will not need the salt, pepper, olive oil, onion, and beef broth as your roast has already been prepared.
Deli sliced roast beef can also be used, you will need 1 pound.
