Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (lean)
- 1 onion (diced)
- 1 bell pepper (chopped or sliced, green or red or both)
- 1 cup / 240 milliliters beef broth
- ¼ cup / 60 milliliters A1 sauce
- 1 tsp steak seasoning
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Sliced provolone cheese
- Buns (of your choice)
Instructions
- Meat Preparation: In a spacious skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef thoroughly, draining excess grease completely.
- Vegetable Integration: Add diced onions and green peppers to the skillet, sautéing until vegetables become translucent and soft.
- Seasoning and Liquid Infusion: Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and cornstarch over the meat mixture. Pour in beef broth, A1 steak sauce, and steak seasoning, creating a rich flavor profile.
- Sauce Development: Increase heat to bring mixture to a rolling boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Allow the sauce to reduce and thicken for 10 minutes, stirring periodically to prevent burning.
- Roll Preparation and Assembly: Activate broiler and butter sandwich roll surfaces. Toast until edges turn golden brown. Generously spread beef mixture across roll bottoms and top with provolone cheese.
- Final Broiling: Return sandwiches to broiler for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to achieve perfectly melted cheese without charring.
- Serving: Plate immediately while hot, ensuring cheese remains delightfully gooey and inviting.
Notes
- Drain Ground Beef Thoroughly: Remove excess fat completely to prevent greasy, heavy sandwich and ensure a cleaner, more appetizing texture.
- Cornstarch Thickening Trick: Sprinkle cornstarch before liquid addition helps create a rich, clingy sauce that perfectly coats the meat without becoming watery.
- Broiler Watch Closely: Keep a vigilant eye during cheese melting stage to prevent burning; cheese should be gloriously melted and slightly golden, not charred.
- Serve Immediately Hot: Timing is crucial – serve right after broiling to enjoy maximum cheese stretch and optimal sandwich temperature for best flavor experience.
