Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound lean ground beef
Vegetables and Seasonings:
- 1 yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 green pepper, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon steak seasoning
Sauce and Thickening Agents:
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup A.1. Sauce
Cheese and Bread:
- Provolone cheese, sliced
- Hamburger buns or sliders
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high and brown the ground beef with diced green peppers and onions, seasoning with salt until meat loses its pink color.
- Drain any accumulated grease from the skillet to ensure a clean, concentrated flavor profile.
- Dust the meat mixture with cornstarch, creating a light coating that will help thicken the sauce and enhance texture.
- Pour in beef broth, A.1. sauce, and steak seasoning, stirring thoroughly to distribute the seasonings evenly.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then immediately reduce heat to a gentle simmer for 10 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and sauce to reduce.
- Prepare buns by spreading butter on both halves and arranging them on a baking sheet.
- Broil buns for 1-2 minutes until golden and crisp, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Ladle the simmered beef mixture generously onto bottom bun halves.
- Top each bottom bun with a slice of provolone cheese on the upper half and return to broiler for 30-45 seconds until cheese melts and becomes slightly bubbly.
- Complete the sandwich by carefully placing the cheesy top bun over the meat-laden bottom bun, creating a hearty, flavorful Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joe.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef to reduce excess fat and create a healthier version of the dish.
- Toast buns carefully to prevent burning; watch the broiler closely for perfect golden-brown edges.
- Add extra A.1. sauce or steak seasoning for enhanced flavor depth if you prefer a more intense taste profile.
- Swap ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based meat alternatives for dietary restrictions or lighter meal options.
