Scale

(Makes 8 sliders)

Sliders:

8 small slider buns (use GF or low-carb buns—you love this!)
1 lb thinly sliced roast beef (check for no added sugar—you love blood sugar friendly!)
4 slices provolone or Swiss cheese (use reduced-sodium—you love low-sodium!)
2 tbsp butter, softened
1 garlic clove, minced (you love garlic!)
Optional: Sautéed onions or mushrooms

Quick au jus (low-sodium, no additives!):

2 cups low-sodium beef broth (you love low-sodium!)
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (use GF/low-sugar—you love clean labels!)
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp garlic powder
Optional: 1 sprig fresh thyme

Instructions

1. Make au jus:

In a saucepan, combine broth, Worcestershire, onion powder, garlic powder, and thyme (if using). Simmer 10–15 minutes to concentrate flavor. Keep warm.

2. Prep buns:

Mix softened butter and minced garlic. Spread inside of buns; toast lightly in oven or skillet until golden.

3. Warm beef & cheese:

In a skillet over medium heat, add roast beef and 2–3 tbsp au jus. Cook 2–3 minutes until heated through. Top with cheese; cover 1 minute to melt.

4. Assemble sliders:

Pile beef and cheese onto bottom buns. Add optional onions/mushrooms. Cap with top buns.

5. Serve:

Pour warm au jus into small bowls for dipping.
