Best French Onion Soup
Are all beef sandwiches created equal? I think not! This dinner style french onion beef sandwich is in a class by itself! We’ll call it a slider, too!
Think of the best French onion soup you’ve ever had, then add beef and put it on a bun. Yes, that’s a beef sandwich, a beef sliced and the best you’ll ever taste!
Beef Sliders
This is not your typical beef sandwich or beef slider! OK, I think I know someone’s going to ask as you look at these pictures of this recipe, ‘What are those little pink flicks on the onions?” Well, it’s fresh ground All American Grilled Steak makes a perfect leftover for this recipe!
What is a Slider
OK, let’s get around the issue of whether we’re talking about a sandwich or a slider. Technically, it’s not a slider, but it could be just by tweaking the bread. If you buy slider ‘buns’, the small ones about two inches in diameter, and use them with this recipe, then you have an authentic slider. But, hold on, sometimes even a small sandwich can be considered a slider. Oh, heck, who cares really? This is just a wonderful dinner meal!
A slider is an American term for a steam-grilled sandwich, typically around 2 inches (5 cm) across, made with a bun. … The term has since been appropriated by other restaurants, usually to describe a small hamburger, but sometimes used to describe any small sandwich made with a slider roll
French Dip Sandwich
Inspiration for this French dip sandwich came from having two small freezer bags leftover of wonderful grilled flank steak. Instead of doing something predictable, yeah, like steak and eggs, a beef vegetable soup, or making just steak hoagie sandwiches, I decided to elevate the beef, make it even more tender and flavorful by making a rich thick beef french onion gravy mixture.
And, that was super simple to do. Now, if you don’t have the leftover beef, not to fret. You can start afresh with a tender cut of beef like rib eye or New York strip. Just pan sear it to a medium or medium rare, cut on the bias into slices and proceed from there with the recipe.
Best Sliders Recipe
Yes, this is like one of the best beef sliders recipe you’ll find because it’s so darn simple.
Interestingly, hubby Ben decided he didn’t want the ‘sandwich’ concept, but wanted the rest of the toppings. So, here’s what I did. Put the greens in the bottom of a nice dinner bowl, added some (pre-cooked) warm rice, then the meat/gravy mixture. Then I put the cheese on top, melted it and topped with the grilled onions. It was truly amazing, and he LOVED it! So easy to eat from the bowl making it almost like a ‘bowlwich’!
French Onion Beef Sliders
I love serving these French onion beef slider sandwiches on metal or cast iron plates. That way you can slide them right in the oven, warm them and when you are melting the cheese, no problem with being in the oven! You also can place a small piece of parchment paper on the metal plate for the sandwich to sit on if you prefer!

Pink Peppercorn
As an added gourmet touch that’s super easy, pick up some pink peppercorn that you can grind. These pine peppercorns are the same as all peppercorns with a slight difference. Picked from the vine at a different stage of growth, these pine peppercorns haven’t been fermented to turn them black. Milder in taste than black, they’re also slightly sweet. I love grinding my pink peppercorn on so many things. It always adds flair to the presentation!
