Instructions

1
Place frozen steak slices on a hot electric griddle and season generously with salt and pepper.
2
Cook for about a minute, then flip. Continue cooking and use a spatula to break the steak into smaller pieces.
3
While the steak cooks, slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally and place the bottom half on a foil-lined baking sheet. Layer with 6 slices of white American cheese.
4
Once the steak is fully cooked, transfer it from the griddle and spread it evenly over the cheese-covered rolls.
5
On the same griddle, add the sliced white onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper. Sauté until softened and slightly caramelized.
6
Layer the sautéed onions and peppers over the steak.
7
Top the vegetables with the remaining 6 slices of white American cheese.
8
Spread mayonnaise evenly on the cut side of the top half of the rolls.
9
Place the top half of the rolls onto the sliders to close them.
10
Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter.
11
Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the tops are golden brown.
12
Remove from the oven, transfer the entire slab of sliders to a serving platter, and slice into individual portions before serving.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Cook peppers and onions until slightly caramelized (8-10 minutes) for deeper flavor and proper texture.
Keep steak frozen or very cold when slicing to achieve thin, even pieces that cook quickly and evenly.
Warm the assembled sliders gently in foil at 350°F rather than a skillet to prevent sogginess and ensure cheese melts throughout.
Spread mayonnaise on the rolls before adding toppings to create a barrier that prevents sogginess.

Substitutions

White American cheese → Provolone or Cheez Whiz (more traditional Philly flavor)
Hawaiian sweet rolls → Soft brioche rolls or slider buns (adjust sweetness preference)
Frozen sliced steak → Fresh ribeye or sirloin, partially frozen and sliced thin (same result, slightly more prep)

Storage & make-ahead

Assemble sliders up to 2 hours ahead, wrap in foil, and refrigerate. Reheat wrapped at 350°F for 10 minutes until cheese melts and rolls warm through.

Common Questions

Can I use fresh steak instead of frozen?

Yes. Freeze fresh steak for 1-2 hours until firm, then slice thinly against the grain. Frozen steak is easier to slice uniformly thin.

How do I get the steak thin enough?

Keep it frozen or partially frozen while slicing. A sharp knife or deli slicer works best. Aim for 1/8-inch thickness.

Can I make these ahead for a party?

Assemble up to 2 hours before serving and wrap in foil. Reheat at 350°F for 10 minutes. Don't assemble more than 2 hours ahead as rolls may become soggy.
