Notes
Note 1: Keep the rolls intact and slice them in half horizontally.
Note 2: Choose the rarest deli roast beef to avoid overcooking in the oven. Simply ask the deli counter staff for assistance.
Note 3: If you're not a fan of peperoncini, swap them for banana peppers to reduce heat. Be sure to drain and pat them dry with a paper towel before adding to the sliders.
Storage: Let sliders cool to room temp. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days or freeze for 3 months.
