🍳 Preparation:
🔥 Step 1: Cook the Beef Mixture
In a skillet pan over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the ground beef along with the onion, green pepper, and salt. Stir continuously until the beef is no longer pink. Drain the excess fat to keep the mixture light and flavorful.
🌿 Step 2: Thicken the Sauce
Sprinkle the cornstarch over the cooked beef and stir until the meat is coated. Add the beef broth, A-1 sauce, and steak seasoning. Stir the mixture well and bring it to a boil.
🍲 Step 3: Simmer to Perfection
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce will thicken up beautifully and will become even more velvety and rich once removed from the heat.
🥯 Step 4: Toast the Buns
While the meat is simmering, preheat the oven to broil. Arrange the buns on a cookie sheet, buttering each one lightly. Broil for just a few minutes until the buns are golden and crispy. Keep a close eye on them—they can burn quickly! 🔥
🧀 Step 5: Assemble Your Sloppy Joes
When the meat mixture is done, use a slotted spoon to scoop it onto each bottom bun. Top the meat with a slice of provolone cheese and broil for another minute or two, just until the cheese melts and becomes wonderfully gooey. 😋
Place the top bun with melted cheese over the meat-filled bottom bun and serve warm.
🌟 Serving Tips:
These Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes are best enjoyed straight from the oven while they’re hot and melty. Toasting the buns is highly recommended to add a pleasant crunch and keep them from getting too soggy.
For a kid-friendly version, use slider buns and serve smaller portions. This recipe easily makes about 8 servings when using slider buns—perfect for feeding a hungry crowd!
