Arby’s-Style Roast Beef Sliders with Horsey Sauce

These roast beef sliders hit the drive-thru craving without making dinner complicated. The warm beef, melty cheddar, soft rolls, and sharp horsey sauce make them feel familiar, fast, and snackable. They are perfect for game days, quick lunches, and nights when a full burger feels like too much but a small sandwich sounds exactly right.

Why This Recipe Works

Use quality deli roast beef and warm it gently so it stays tender instead of drying out.

This recipe is designed for a real home kitchen: simple timing, familiar tools, and enough flavor to feel like something you would save, share, and make again.

Ingredients

• 12 slider rolls
• 1 lb thin-sliced deli roast beef
• 8 slices cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp prepared horseradish
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp melted butter
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• Pickles for serving

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 350°F and lightly butter a baking dish.
2. Mix mayonnaise, horseradish, Dijon, and lemon juice to make the horsey sauce.
3. Split the rolls, spread sauce on the bottoms, then layer roast beef and cheddar.
4. Brush the tops with melted butter, garlic powder, and onion powder.
5. Bake 8 to 10 minutes until the cheese melts and the rolls are warm.
6. Serve hot with extra sauce and pickles.

Tips for Best Results

Prep the toppings before you start cooking so the final dish comes together while the hot components are still fresh. Taste the sauce or seasoning before serving and adjust with lime, salt, heat, or sweetness as needed.

If you are meal prepping, store sauces and crisp toppings separately. That keeps the texture stronger and makes the leftovers feel closer to the first serving.
