Ingredients
beef tenderloin
2-3 lbs (roasted)
butter
1 cup (melted and mixed with spices)
garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons (as part of basting mixture and bun spread)
dry mustard
1 teaspoon (as part of basting mixture and bun spread)
dried parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons (as part of basting mixture and bun spread)

silver dollar rolls
10 (sliced open for sliders)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 200°F.
2
Prepare the beef tenderloin by placing it on a roasting pan. Baste it every 20 minutes with the basting mixture made from melted butter, garlic powder, mustard, parsley, thyme, and celery salt. Cook the tenderloin until it reaches medium rare, about 2 hours or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
3
While the beef is roasting, prepare the mini silver dollar rolls by slicing them open. Mix the remaining butter with garlic powder, mustard, parsley, thyme, and celery salt, then spread generously on the inside of each bun.
4
Once the beef is finished cooking, let it rest for at least 30 minutes (overnight is even better for flavor). Slice the beef thinly using an electric knife.
5
Assemble the sliders by piling several slices of beef onto each prepared bun. Arrange the sliders on a jelly roll pan lined with parchment paper. If you’re not serving immediately, cover the sliders with foil and refrigerate until ready to bake. Place a damp towel over the buns to keep them moist.
6
When ready to serve, preheat the oven to 350°F. Remove the foil, and bake the sliders for 10-15 minutes until heated through and the buns are toasty.
7
Serve these scrumptious sliders at your gathering and watch as they disappear in seconds! If you have any leftovers, freeze the sliders individually for an easy meal option or a quick snack.
