French Onion Sliders

I could just put this recipe on repeat. We both love these sliders. Another easy meal. If you line your baking pan with foil you should only have one pan to wash.

This recipe is from Delish.com. The recipe calls for Roast Beef from the deli department. I have made it like that once. But I like to use Steak Sandwich meat. There is a brand that is sold around here that is called Old Neighbor Beef Shaved Steak. I pick that up and divide the package into 2 portions. Using the seal-o-vac, I have 2 meals.

If you were to use the Roast Beef, you could do the Au Jus sauce, even cook the onions ahead of time and then put everything together at dinner time

This is my version of the original recipe. This makes enough for the 2 of us.

Ingredients-

4 tbsp. butter, divided

1 small onion, thinly sliced

2 sprigs, plus 1/4 teaspoon of fresh thyme

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

4 slider buns, halved

1/2 lb. Beef Shaved Steak

4 slices provolone cheese

3/4 c. low-sodium beef broth

1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

Method-

Preheat the oven to 350°. 

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. 

Add onion and thyme sprigs and season with salt and pepper. 

Cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 15 minutes. 

Discard thyme.

Remove onions to a plate.

Melt 1 tbsp of butter in the skillet and add steak, cooking it through.

Place the bottom halves of slider buns on a baking sheet or 9" x 9" baking pan, lined with aluminum foil, and top with steak, provolone cheese, caramelized onions, and slider bun tops. 

Bake until cheese is melty and sliders are warmed through, 10 to 15 minutes. 

Meanwhile, make the au jus: 

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the same skillet and melt over medium heat. 

Add beef broth, Worcestershire, and thyme, and season with salt and pepper. 

Simmer until slightly reduced, 10 minutes. 

Serve sliders with au jus for dipping.
