For the Sliders:

• 2 pounds of thinly sliced roast beef (look for lean cuts for the best texture)
• 1 cup of beef broth (low sodium preferred for more control over saltiness)
• 8 to 10 slider buns (Hawaiian rolls or similar soft buns work great)
• 8 slices of provolone cheese (or your choice of cheese such as Swiss or mozzarella)
• 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce (adds a savory depth to the meat)
• 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard (for a subtle tanginess)
• 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter (melted, for brushing on the slider tops)

For the Au Jus:

• 2 cups of beef broth (you can use store-bought or homemade for enhanced flavor)
• 1 clove of garlic (minced)
• 1 small onion (finely chopped, to add sweetness and body)
• 1 teaspoon of dried thyme (or use fresh, if available, for a vibrant flavor)
• Bay leaf (optional, but it enriches the overall taste)
• Salt and black pepper to taste (season carefully)

Optional Additions:

• Chopped fresh parsley (for garnishing and a hint of freshness)
• Sliced jalapeños (for those who enjoy a spicy kick)
• Caramelized onions (for a sweet complement to the beef)
• Mushrooms (sautéed, for an earthy flavor)

Storage Suggestions:

• If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To freeze, wrap individual sliders tightly and store in a freezer bag for up to 1 month. Reheat in the oven.

These perfectly crafted components work together to create a mouthwatering meal, ideal for gatherings or a cozy family dinner.
