Instructions
    Prepare the Rolls
    1. Keep the Hawaiian rolls connected.
    2. Slice the entire package horizontally through the middle.
    3. Place the bottom half into a greased 9x13 baking dish.

    4. Place the top half of the rolls back on.
    5. Add the Garlic Butter

    Bake
    1. Cover loosely with foil.
    2. Bake for 15 minutes.
    3. Remove foil.
    4. Bake an additional 5–7 minutes until the tops are golden brown and glossy.
    5. Cheese should be fully melted and gooey.
    Make the Au Jus

    2. Bring to a gentle simmer.
    3. Cook 5–10 minutes until hot and flavorful.

    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.
