Cheesesteak Sliders
This Philly Cheesesteak Sliders recipe is so easy to make and feeds a nice size crowd. And the best part? These are so easy to make and are unbelievably delicious. A good cheesesteak should have a good cheese to meat ratio, and the beef should be tender. Also, the onions should be well cooked, almost caramelized.
Cheesesteak Sliders on Hawaiian Rolls
Cheesesteak sliders on Hawaiian rolls are one of those recipes that hit the sweet spot between comfort food and crowd-pleasing convenience. They’re everything you love about a classic cheesesteak. They have savory beef, melty cheese, and sautéed onions served on soft, slightly sweet rolls that make them perfect for parties, game days, or an easy weeknight dinner.
The magic really starts with the contrast of flavors. Hawaiian rolls bring a subtle sweetness that balances the richness of the beef and cheese. When baked together, the tops get lightly golden and just a little crisp, while the inside stays warm, gooey, and packed with flavor. You are going to love these cheesesteak sliders on Hawaiian rolls.
To make them, start with thinly sliced steak. Ribeye is ideal if you want that authentic cheesesteak flavor, but sirloin or even shaved beef works great too.
What type of meat is good for Philly Cheesesteak?
You can pick up steak-ums for this recipe, but see if you can find “shaved beef steak” in your grocery store in the meat section. Shaved beef is super thin slices of beef, like steak-ums, but they are higher quality. They cook super fast because they are so thin, and they layer with the cheese so well. If you buy ribeye, you will have to cut it thinly on your own, so I prefer to just have the meat already thinly cut. I have seen shaved beef in several grocery stores, so just check with your favorite store to see to see if they carry it.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe for Cheesesteak Sliders
These sliders take all the bold, savory flavor of a classic cheesesteak and turn it into a shareable, oven-baked dish. The Hawaiian rolls add a hint of sweetness that balances the rich beef and cheese, while the buttery topping brings everything together.
Bonus: you can assemble them ahead of time and just bake when you’re ready.
These cheesesteak sliders are my first slider recipe in a long series of flavor combinations I have planned. I started stuffing yummy fillings into biscuit dough recently, and just changed it up a bit to create even easier recipes for stuffed sliders!

Cheesesteak Sliders
Ingredients
- 1 lb Shaved Beef I bought mine fresh at Trader Joe's but you can also use Steak Ums
- Vidalia Onions 3 or 4
- 12 Hawaiian Roll Sliders Aloha Rolls from Trader Joes or King's Hawaiian Rolls
- 12 Slices Cheddar Cheese
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder
Instructions
- Slice and then chop the onions into quarter slices
- Heat a pan on medium low heat and add 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp olive oil. Cook onions on low heat, stirring frequently until onions are golden in color. I like my onions well cooked for cheesesteaks, so this takes at least 20 minutes.
- Put onions in a bowl and set aside.
- Cook your beef with a little salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- When beef is only a little bit pink, add the onions to the pan with the steak and finish cooking until steak is fully cooked.
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Slice the slider bread in half, so that you can seperate the tops from the bottoms
- Place the bottoms in a Baking Dish. I like to seperate each bottom piece, but I still keep the sliders in the original shape of 3 sliders wide, 4 sliders long. Then I cut each slice of cheese into 4s and place 2 pieces on each piece of bread(half will be used on top). Then I top the cheese with the meat and onion mixture. Then I add two squares of cheese to each slider, and finally, I top it with the tops of the bread.
- Tightly wrap with aluminum foil and bake for about 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, take off the aluminum foil and bake until cheese is very melty and the tops of the buns are lightly golden.

I made these last night. Delicious and easy to make! Thank you.
Hi Evita! I am so glad you liked them!
Made these cheesesteak sliders for Super Bowl and the only complaint was I should have made more! They are super tender and juicy and a breeze to make. I actually even made them ahead and popped them in the oven later for serving.
These were life changing at a party! The hack of using the prepared meat saved hours and they were easy to prep ahead and serve. Will make again asap!
