Method
 

Prepare and assemble sliders

  2. Slice the Hawaiian sweet rolls in half horizontally without separating the individual rolls, then place the roll bottoms in the dish.
  3. Layer the deli roast beef and provolone cheese evenly over the roll bottoms, then place the roll tops on.
  4. Whisk the melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and chopped parsley, then brush generously over the roll tops.
  5. Cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 15 minutes.
  6. Uncover and bake at 350°F for 5 more minutes, until the tops are golden and you can see the layers through the sides.
Make au jus and serve
  1. Simmer the beef broth with Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and garlic powder for 5 minutes, stirring until combined.
  2. Serve the sliders hot with the au jus in a small ramekin for dipping.

Notes

For extra pull-apart tenderness, brush the butter topping right up to the edges of the rolls before baking. Store baked sliders covered in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in a 300°F oven until warm through. Freeze sliders only if you wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months; reheat from thawed for best texture. For a lower-sodium option, choose reduced-sodium beef broth and low-sodium Worcestershire/soy sauce.
