How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes
- Cook the Ground Beef Mixture: 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 any excess grease.
- Thicken the Sauce: Stir the cornstarch into the ground beef mixture until the meat is coated. Add the beef broth, A.1. Sauce, and steak seasoning. Stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens.
- Prepare the Buns: While the meat mixture is simmering, preheat the oven to broil. Place the buns on a baking sheet and butter each bun. Broil for a few minutes until lightly toasted.
- Assemble the Sloppy Joes: Using a slotted spoon, scoop the meat mixture onto the bottom half of each bun. Top with a slice of provolone cheese. Broil for a few more minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Serve and Enjoy: Place the top half of the bun with the melted cheese on top of the bottom half with the meat mixture. Serve warm and enjoy the delicious flavors!
