Notes:

• King’s Hawaiian rolls provide the soft texture shown in the image.
• Provolone is the ideal cheese for French Dip Sliders because it melts beautifully and creates long cheese pulls.
• Do not skip the garlic butter topping.
• The reserved braising liquid creates a much richer au jus than store-bought mixes.
• Covering with foil during the first part of baking prevents over-browning.
• Serve immediately for the best cheese pull.
