Ingredients
Meat Mixture
- 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 Steak Sauce
- 1 teaspoon steak seasoning
Toppings and Bread
- Sliced provolone cheese
- Hamburger buns or sliders
- Butter (for spreading on buns)
Instructions
- Cook the Meat and Vegetables: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the ground beef along with the finely diced yellow onion, chopped green pepper, and salt until the beef is no longer pink. Once cooked, drain excess fat from the skillet.
- Coat the Meat and Add Sauce: Sprinkle the cornstarch over the cooked beef mixture and stir well to coat the meat evenly. Add the beef broth, A-1 Steak Sauce, and steak seasoning to the skillet. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Simmer the Mixture: After boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will allow the sauce to thicken; it will continue to thicken after removing from heat.
- Broil the Buns: While the meat simmers, preheat your oven’s broiler. Place the hamburger buns on a cookie sheet and spread butter on each bun. Broil them for a few minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning, until the buns are lightly toasted.
- Assemble with Cheese: Use a slotted spoon to scoop the meat mixture onto the bottom halves of the toasted buns. Place a slice of provolone cheese on each top bun. Return the buns with cheese to the broiler for a few more minutes until the cheese melts.
- Serve Warm: Place the melted cheese-topped bun over the meat-filled bottom bun. Serve the Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes hot and enjoy the hearty, savory flavors.
Notes
- Watch the buns carefully while broiling to avoid burning as they toast quickly.
- Using lean ground beef helps reduce grease; draining is still recommended.
- You can substitute provolone cheese with mozzarella or American cheese for a different flavor.
- For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the meat mixture.
- These sloppy joes can be served on slider buns for a party appetizer or regular hamburger buns for a full meal.
