Vegetables:
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
Seasonings and Additional Ingredients:
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 6 hamburger buns
- 1 cup provolone cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high temperature and thoroughly brown the ground beef, carefully removing any accumulated grease.
- Incorporate diced bell peppers and onions into the skillet, sautéing until vegetables become translucent and slightly caramelized.
- Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, and flour into the meat mixture, stirring to evenly distribute and create a light coating.
- Pour ketchup and Worcestershire sauce into the skillet, blending all ingredients until well combined and fragrant.
- Slowly stream beef broth into the mixture, continuously stirring to prevent lumps and ensure smooth consistency.
- Reduce heat to low and allow the sauce to simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens and develops rich flavors.
- Gently fold shredded provolone cheese into the simmering mixture, stirring until completely melted and creating a creamy texture.
- Spoon the hot cheese steak mixture generously onto toasted hamburger buns, ensuring an even distribution of meat and sauce.
- Serve immediately while hot, allowing the melted cheese and savory filling to create a deliciously messy sloppy joe experience.
Notes
- Choose 90/10 or 93/7 ground beef to reduce fat content while maintaining rich flavor.
- Substitute all-purpose flour with cornstarch or gluten-free flour blend and use gluten-free hamburger buns.
- Enhance nutritional value by adding extra vegetables like mushrooms or spinach during the sautéing stage.
- Prepare the beef mixture ahead of time and store in refrigerator for up to 3 days, reheating quickly for a fast weeknight dinner.
