Homemade Philly Cheesesteak
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Lean ground beef | 1 pound |
| Yellow onion, finely chopped | 1 |
| Green pepper, chopped | 1 |
| Salt | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Cornstarch | 1 tablespoon |
| Beef broth | 1 cup |
| A-1 sauce | 1/4 cup |
| Steak seasoning | 1 teaspoon |
| Provolone cheese slices | As needed |
| Hamburger buns or slider buns | As needed |
Directions
Step 1: Cook the Beef and Vegetables
In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the ground beef, onion, green pepper, and salt. Cook, breaking up the beef as it browns, until the meat is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Step 2: Add the Cornstarch
Sprinkle the cornstarch over the beef mixture and stir well to coat evenly. This will help thicken the sauce.
Step 3: Add the Seasonings
Pour in the beef broth and A-1 sauce, then stir in the steak seasoning. Mix well and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Step 4: Simmer
Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens.
Step 5: Toast the Buns
While the meat simmers, preheat the oven. Place the buns on a baking sheet, butter if desired, and toast lightly in the oven.
Step 6: Assemble the Sandwiches
Using a slotted spoon, spoon the meat mixture onto the bottom halves of the toasted buns. Top each sandwich with a slice of Provolone cheese.
Step 7: Melt the Cheese
Return the sandwiches to the oven and broil for a few minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 8: Serve
Place the top halves of the buns on the sandwiches and serve warm.
