Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 small green bell pepper, chopped
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon steak sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup beef broth
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 slices provolone cheese
Instructions
- Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the ground beef and break it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper to the skillet with the beef. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
- Add Sauces: Stir in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and steak sauce. Mix well to coat the beef and vegetables evenly.
- Thicken Sauce: In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in beef broth. Pour this mixture into the skillet and stir to combine. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare Buns: Preheat the oven to broil. Place the hamburger buns cut side up on a baking sheet.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Spoon the beef mixture onto the bottom halves of the buns. Top each with a slice of provolone cheese.
- Broil: Place the baking sheet in the oven and broil the sandwiches for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch closely to avoid burning.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and cover each with the top halves of the buns. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Monitor the broiling step carefully as cheese can burn quickly under the broiler.
- For extra flavor, consider adding mushrooms or substituting provolone with American cheese.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it simmer a little longer after adding the cornstarch mixture.
- Drain excess fat from the beef for a less greasy sandwich.
- Use fresh hamburger buns and slightly toast them before assembling for better texture.
