Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Zesty Cheese Steak Sloppy Joe Sandwiches.
Step 1
Start by melting a generous pat of butter in a large pot over medium heat, letting its rich aroma fill your kitchen.
Step 2
Once the butter is bubbling, toss in the diced onion and green bell pepper.
Step 3
Sauté these vibrant veggies for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become tender and fragrant.
Step 4
Next, add in the ground beef along with minced garlic, a sprinkle of salt, and a dash of black pepper.
Step 5
Cook this mixture, stirring frequently, until the beef is beautifully browned and crumbly, which should take around 7 to 8 minutes.
Step 6
Don’t forget to drain any excess grease to keep your dish light and delicious.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to elevate those flavors! Pour in the beef broth, steak sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced jalapenos, jalapeno juice, and half a teaspoon of Creole seasoning.
Step 8
Stir everything together until well combined, then bring the mixture to a lively boil.
Step 9
Once it’s bubbling away, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing those flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 10
While the mixture is simmering, grab a small bowl and whisk together cornstarch and water to create a smooth slurry.
Step 11
Add this slurry to your beef mixture and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, stirring until it thickens to your liking.
Step 12
Give it a taste and feel free to adjust the seasoning with a bit more Creole seasoning or pepper if you desire.
Step 13
When you’re happy with the flavor, turn off the heat and place a slice of provolone cheese on top of the warm meat mixture, letting it melt into gooey perfection.
Step 14
Now, scoop that cheesy goodness onto a toasted bun, and repeat the process with the remaining cheese and buns.
Step 15
Serve these delightful creations immediately, and watch as everyone gathers around to enjoy this comforting, flavorful dish!.
