Today I stumbled upon a recipe that’s too good to ignore. It is quick and easy to prepare and combines two of my favorites; Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich and Sloppy Joes (classic!). Served on toasted hamburger buns for a mouthwatering, gooey, and savory flavor. One bite and you’ll be hooked!
INGREDIENTS
1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 medium green bell pepper, diced
1 c. beef broth
2 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon cornstarch
6 ounces of provolone cheese, sliced or in chunks
8 hamburger buns
1 tablespoon of butter, optional
HOW TO COOK PHILLY CHEESESTEAK SLOPPY JOES
Step 1: Coat a heated large non-stick pan or cast-iron with oil. Add the ground beef and cook over medium-high heat. (I would suggest using a large skillet so the beef is not too crowded.)
Step 2: Keep stirring the beef for 3-5 minutes until mostly browned (it’s better to cook the beef until a deep brown crust is formed for maximum flavor). Then, strain out the accumulated fats.
Step 3: Add then stir the onions and bell peppers for 2-3 minutes until the onions become translucent.
Step 4: Now, first add the beef broth, then the ketchup, Worchester sauce, salt, and pepper.
Step 5: In a cup, mix the cornstarch with one tablespoon of water. Pour to the pan. Continue stirring to avoid the cornstarch mix to thickens.
Step 6: Wait for a few minutes for the mixture to thicken (mounds will start forming).
Step 7: Remove the pan from the heat. Slowly stir in the cheese.
Step 8: While waiting for the cheese to melt, toast the buns (in a broiler or bake for a few minutes). Toasting or broiling the buns will prevent them from being soggy. Add butter to your buns, too!
Step 9: When the cheese is melted, start spooning onto the toasted buns. Serve straight away. Enjoy!
By the way, for extra flavorful experience, don’t dry all the sauce out. Your mixture should have a thick but moist consistency (cook the mixture just until it has about 10-15% liquid).
