Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 pound lean ground beef
Vegetables:
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, chopped or sliced (green or red or both)
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) beef broth
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) A1 sauce
- 1 teaspoon steak seasoning
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cheese and Bread:
- Sliced provolone cheese
- Buns of your choice
Instructions
- Thoroughly brown ground beef in a spacious skillet over medium heat, ensuring complete cooking and eliminating excess grease through careful draining.
- Incorporate finely diced onions and chopped green peppers into the skillet, sautéing until vegetables become translucent and tender.
- Season the meat mixture with salt, black pepper, and sprinkle cornstarch to help thicken the sauce. Gradually pour in beef broth (473 milliliters / 16 fluid ounces), A1 steak sauce, and steak seasoning.
- Elevate heat to create a rolling boil, then immediately reduce to a gentle simmer. Allow the mixture to reduce and thicken for approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
- Activate broiler and prepare sandwich rolls by spreading softened butter evenly across cut surfaces. Toast under broiler until golden brown edges develop.
- Distribute the savory beef mixture generously across bottom halves of toasted rolls, ensuring even coverage.
- Layer a single slice of provolone cheese atop the meat on each sandwich half.
- Return sandwiches to broiler for an additional 2-3 minutes, monitoring closely to achieve perfectly melted cheese without burning.
- Transfer immediately to serving plates and present while hot and cheese remains wonderfully gooey.
Notes
- Quickly drain excess fat after browning beef to keep the dish lighter and prevent greasiness.
- Toast buns under broiler for extra crunch and a golden-brown surface that enhances overall texture.
- Mix cornstarch helps thicken the sauce, creating a rich and clingy consistency perfect for sloppy joes.
- A1 sauce adds a tangy, complex flavor that elevates the traditional sloppy joe recipe with steakhouse vibes.
- Choose provolone cheese for authentic Philly cheesesteak taste and smooth, creamy melting quality.
- Simmer sauce for precisely 10 minutes to develop deep flavors and achieve ideal sauce consistency.
