Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes are pure comfort food, and easy to make with flavors reminiscent of a cheesesteak sandwich. Ready to serve in just 30 minutes, this recipe is bound to become a weeknight favorite.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 yellow onion finely diced
- 1 green pepper chopped
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup beef broth
- ¼ cup A.1. Sauce
- 1 teaspoon steak seasoning
- sliced provolone cheese
- hamburger buns, sliders, etc.
How To Make Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes:
Step 1: In a skillet pan, over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the ground beef, onion, green pepper, and salt until the beef is no longer pink. Drain.
Step 2: Stir the cornstarch into the ground beef and mix together until the meat is coated in the cornstarch. Add the beef broth, A-1 sauce, and steak seasoning. Stir together and bring to a boil.
Step 3: Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and let it simmer, while stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. The mixture should thicken up and will thicken up more once it’s off the heat.
Step 4: While the meat is simmering, set the oven to broil, and place the buns on a cookie sheet. Butter each bun. Broil for just a few minutes. Watch carefully as they can burn easily.
Step 5: When the meat is done use a slotted spoon to scoop it out onto each bottom bun. Place a slice of provolone cheese on the top bun. Broil for a few more minutes until the cheese is melted.
Step 6: Place the top bun with the cheese on top of the bottom bun with the Philly cheesesteak meat. Eat warm!
Notes:
If you are using slider buns or feeding lots of little kids then this recipe easily serves 8 sloppy joes.
I highly recommend toasting the buns! If you don’t have the time or just don’t want to, simply serve the sloppy joe meat in a hamburger bun and eat it as is. Still yummy!
I know I will get comments saying that these are not real, true, or authentic Philly Cheesesteaks. Yes, I know. They are meant to be a fast, family-friendly, budget-friendly version of the original.
