- Servings: 4-6
Ingredients:
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 green pepper, chopped
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup beef broth
- ¼ cup A.1. Sauce
- 1 teaspoon steak seasoning
- Sliced provolone cheese
- Hamburger buns, sliders, etc.
How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes:
- Cook and Crumble: In a skillet pan over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the ground beef, onion, green pepper, and salt until the beef is no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
- Coat with Cornstarch: Stir the cornstarch into the ground beef mixture until the meat is evenly coated. This step helps thicken the sauce later on.
- Add Flavorful Ingredients: Pour in the beef broth, A.1. Sauce, and steak seasoning. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Simmer to Perfection: Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. You’ll notice the sauce thickening up beautifully.
- Prepare the Buns: While the meat is simmering, preheat your oven’s broiler and place the buns on a baking sheet. Spread butter on each bun and broil them for a couple of minutes until they are lightly toasted. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Melty Cheese Topping: Once the meat mixture is done, use a slotted spoon to scoop it onto the bottom half of each bun. Top it with a slice of provolone cheese.
- Final Touches: Place the assembled buns with the cheese-topped meat under the broiler for a few more minutes until the cheese is gooey and deliciously melted.
- Serve and Enjoy: Carefully place the top bun with the melted cheese on top of the meat-filled bottom bun. Serve your Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes warm and savor every bite of this flavor-packed creation!
