Step-by-Step Instructions for French Dip Sliders

Sauté the onions: Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the sliced medium onion and sauté for 12–15 minutes until tender and golden brown.
Season the onions: Add fresh thyme, kosher salt, and black pepper to the onions. Stir well and remove from heat.
Preheat the oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C) for even baking.
Prepare the rolls: Cut sweet rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves in a baking dish.
Layer the ingredients: Add half of the provolone cheese, then sliced deli roast beef, caramelized onions, and top with remaining provolone cheese.
Brush with butter mixture: Mix remaining melted butter with dried onion soup mix and brush over the tops of the rolls.
Bake the sliders: Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes, then remove foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
Make the au jus: Prepare au jus according to package instructions, mixing with water.
Serve and enjoy: Remove sliders from oven, garnish with parsley, and serve with au jus for dipping.
