Ingredients
- 1 lb thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin steak
- 12 slider buns (Hawaiian or dinner rolls), split
- 1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 8 oz provolone cheese slices
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until cheese is melted and buns are warmed through.
- If desired, uncover and bake an additional 2 minutes to toast tops lightly. Serve warm.
