Olive Oil: I used extra virgin olive oil to cook the ground beef in.
Beef: Ground beef is best and cooks up separately in a skillet with the olive oil.
Onion and Green Pepper: Chop up and add into the ground beef.
Steak Sauce: Use one of your favorite steak sauces.
Beef Broth: This adds flavoring as well as keeps the meat moist and juicy.
Cornstarch: Thicken the sauce with ground beef.
Water: Adds in extra moisture and create a thickener with the cornstarch.
Hamburger Buns: I like them toasted in the oven before layering the sandwich.
Provolone Cheese: Thinly sliced to melt over the cheese steak mixture.
Salt and Pepper: To taste!
Let’s Make a Sloppy Joe!
Brown the beef: In a large skillet heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium high heat. Add the ground beef and brown while breaking up in chunks with a spatula or spoon.
Add vegetables: Add the chopped green pepper and onion cooking for about 3-4 minutes until they start to become tender. Drain all excess liquid.
Bring to a boil: Add the beef broth and steak sauce and bring the mixture to a boil. Continue cooking until sauce is thick and bubbly.
Toast hamburger buns: While this is cooking, Split the hamburger buns and butter each side. Place the buns side down onto a separate skillet until golden brown.
Melt Cheese: Once the mixture has thickened, add the sliced cheese in an even layer on the top and let it melt.
Create a sloppy Joe: To assemble, place the bun on the bottom. Spoon the meat and cheese mixture on top
