Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes
Ingredients:
1 pound of lean ground beef for a robust base
1 onion, finely diced for a sweet contrast
1 green pepper, chopped for a crunchy texture
1 cup of beef broth, rich in flavor
¼ cup of A1 sauce for that tangy twist
1 teaspoon of steak seasoning for an authentic steakhouse flavor
Slices of provolone cheese, creamy and melting
1 tablespoon of cornstarch for the perfect sauce consistency
Salt and pepper, to season to your liking
Your preferred buns, ready to be loaded
Instructions:
Sauté the ground beef in a hot skillet until it’s perfectly browned. Remove any extra fat.
Toss in the onions and green pepper, cooking until they’re just tender.
Blend in the beef broth, A1 sauce, cornstarch, and steak seasoning, letting the mixture bubble before reducing the heat to thicken.
While the filling simmers, broil your buttered buns until they’re golden to your preference.
Spoon the beef mixture onto the bun bottoms, and top the other halves with a slice of provolone.
Give the assembled sandwiches a quick broil until the cheese is gloriously melted.
