PHILLY CHEESESTEAK SLOPPY JOES

by


 

These Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes will quickly become a family favorite! They combine the best of two worlds: the flavorings and cheesy goodness of a Philly Cheesesteak with the ease, economy and sauciness of Sloppy Joes.

 

Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes are pure comfort food, and easy to make with flavors reminiscent of a cheesesteak sandwich. Ready to serve in just 30 minutes, this Sloppy Joe Philly Cheesesteak Recipe is bound to become a weeknight favorite.

 

Ingredients

1 lb lean ground beef

1 yellow onion finely diced

1 green pepper chopped

½ teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 cup beef broth

¼ cup A.1. Sauce

1 teaspoon steak seasoning

sliced provolone cheese

hamburger buns, sliders, etc.

 

How To Make Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes

In a skillet pan, over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the ground beef, onion, green pepper, and salt until beef is no longer pink. Drain.

Stir the cornstarch into the ground beef and mix together until the meat is coated in the cornstarch. Add the beef broth, A-1 sauce, and steak seasoning. Stir together and bring to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and let it simmer, while stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Mixture should thicken up and will thicken up more once it’s off the heat.

While meat is simmering, set the oven to broil, and place the buns on a cookie sheet. Butter each bun. Broil for just a few minutes. Watch carefully as they can burn easily.

When the meat is done use a slotted spoon to scoop it out onto each bottom bun. Place a slice of provolone cheese on the top bun. Broil for a few more minutes until cheese is melted.

Place the top bun with the cheese on top of the bottom bun with the philly cheesesteak meat. Eat warm!

 

Notes

Nutrition information is for ⅙ of the meat, one slice of provolone cheese, and one hamburger bun.If you are using slider buns or feeding lots of little kids then this recipe easily serves 8 sloppy joes. I highly recommend toasting the buns! If you don’t have the time or just don’t want to, simply serve the sloppy joe meat in a hamburger bun and eat it as is. Still yummy!I know I will get comments saying that these are not real, true, or authentic Philly Cheesesteaks. Yes, I know. They are meant to be a fast, family-friendly, budget-friendly version of the original.

Ultimate Steak-Stuffed Baked Potatoes with Creamy Parmesan Sauce

by


 

Ingredients:

4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed clean and patted dry

4 tablespoons olive oil

1.5 tablespoons sea salt (for baked potato skins)

2 lbs steak (NY strip, ribeye, sirloin, or tenderloin)

2 teaspoons kosher salt

2 tablespoons garlic, minced (about 8-10 cloves)

6 tablespoons butter, softened

2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning (low sodium preferred)

4 tablespoons avocado oil (divided)

1 1/2 cups heavy cream

2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced

2 wedges lemon (juice of)

1/2 – 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Directions:

Prepare the Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper. Rub the potatoes with olive oil, sprinkle sea salt on all sides, and place on the prepared pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.

Cook the Steak Bites: While the potatoes bake, trim any excess fat from the steak and cut it into 2″ pieces. Drizzle the steak with 2 tablespoons avocado oil and coat liberally with Cajun seasoning.

Heat a cast iron skillet (or regular skillet) over medium-high heat. Add the remaining avocado oil and cook the steak bites undisturbed for 2 minutes until golden brown. Flip the steak once and cook for another minute, then reduce the heat to low and cook for another minute.

Scoot the steak to one side of the pan, add 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant. Toss the steak in the garlic butter and cook for an additional minute. Remove the steak from the pan, place it in a bowl, and tent it with foil.

Make the Parmesan Cream Sauce: In the same pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the rest of the garlic. Sauté until fragrant. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer, reducing the sauce for 3-5 minutes.

Add the red pepper flakes and Parmesan cheese, whisking until the sauce thickens. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Remove from heat, stir in the parsley, and add the juice of two lemon wedges.

Assemble the Potatoes: Once the potatoes are done, drop each potato onto the pan from about 12 inches to loosen the inside and make them fluffy. Slice each potato down the center and fluff with a fork.

Serve: Spoon the steak bites into each potato, drizzle generously with the Parmesan cream sauce, and serve immediately.
