Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 2 tbsp A-1 sauce
- 1 tsp steak seasoning (or to taste)
- 4 toasted sandwich buns
- 4 slices provolone cheese
Instructions
- Brown the Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is fully browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced onions and green bell peppers to the skillet. Cook and stir until the vegetables become tender and fragrant.
- Add Liquids and Seasoning: Stir in the beef broth, A-1 sauce, and steak seasoning, ensuring the mixture is well combined.
- Simmer the Mixture: Let the mixture simmer for about 5 to 7 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly and the flavors to meld together.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Spoon a generous portion of the beef mixture onto each toasted sandwich bun.
- Add Cheese: Place a slice of provolone cheese on top of the hot beef mixture, allowing it to melt naturally from the heat.
- Optional Broil for Extra Melty Cheese: For extra melty and bubbly cheese, place the assembled sandwiches under a broiler for 1 to 2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
Notes
- You can customize the steak seasoning based on your preference or substitute with a mixture of garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper.
- Toasting the buns enhances texture and helps them hold up against the juicy filling.
- For a healthier version, substitute ground beef with ground turkey or use low-sodium beef broth.
- Use provolone cheese slices or try mozzarella for a different melty texture.
- Watch carefully if broiling to prevent the cheese from burning.
