- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Ground Beef
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until it is browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess grease.
Step 2: Add Onion and Garlic
To the skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Step 3: Stir in the Peppers
Incorporate the diced bell peppers into the mixture. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the peppers are tender.
Step 4: Mix in the Sauce
Pour in the tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and seasoning. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
Step 5: Toast the Buns
While the mixture simmers, preheat the oven to 350°F. Cut the hamburger buns in half and place them on a baking sheet. Toast them lightly in the oven for about 5 minutes.
Step 6: Assemble the Sloppy Joes
Once everything is ready, spoon the beef mixture generously onto the toasted buns. Top with provolone cheese if desired.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
Serve the Philly cheesesteak sloppy joes immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or additional toppings of choice.
