Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground beef
Vegetables:
- 1 green bell pepper (diced)
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
Sauce and Seasoning:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) beef broth
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Cheese and Bread:
- 6 slices provolone cheese
- 4–6 hamburger buns (toasted)
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it down into crumbly pieces and discarding any excess grease after cooking.
- Introduce diced green bell peppers and onions to the skillet, sautéing for 5-7 minutes until vegetables become translucent and tender.
- Incorporate minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to release aromatic flavors.
- Create a savory sauce by combining beef broth, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce in a separate bowl.
- Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet, mixing thoroughly with the meat and vegetable mixture.
- Prepare a cornstarch slurry by whisking cornstarch with water until smooth.
- Integrate the slurry into the skillet, stirring continuously for 2-3 minutes to achieve a thickened consistency.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to enhance the overall flavor profile.
- Layer provolone cheese slices across the top of the beef mixture, covering the skillet with a lid to allow gentle melting.
- Toast hamburger buns until golden and crisp around the edges.
- Generously spoon the cheesy beef mixture onto the prepared buns, ensuring an even distribution.
- Serve immediately while the cheese is still warm and melted.
Notes
- Drain ground beef thoroughly to prevent soggy sloppy joes and ensure a rich, concentrated flavor profile.
- Use high-quality provolone cheese for an authentic Philly cheesesteak experience with deeper, more complex melting characteristics.
- Consider adding caramelized onions for extra depth and sweetness, enhancing the traditional Philly cheesesteak flavor foundation.
- Opt for whole wheat or gluten-free buns to accommodate dietary restrictions while maintaining the recipe’s hearty essence.
