Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon EVOO - Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 pound ground sirloin
  • 1 softball-sized onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup steak sauce
  • 1 cup beef stock
  • Salt and ground black pepper
  • 4 dinner rolls
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup provolone, shredded
  • For the salad:
  • 1/2 pound salami, chopped
  • 1/4 pound provolone cheese, chopped
  • 1 small jar pepperoncini
  • 1 head Bibb lettuce
  • 1 bunch arugula
  • 2 tablespoons EVOO – Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

Yields: 4 servings

Preparation

Preheat broiler.

Step

In large skillet over medium-high heat with 1 turn of the pan of EVOO, brown the ground sirloin, about 5-6 minutes. Add the onion and cook another 3-4 minutes, until the onions start to get tender. Stir in the steak sauce and beef stock, season with salt and pepper, bring up to a bubble and cook about 2 minutes.

Split open rolls and toast under broiler, keep your eye on them so they don't burn!

Step

While the meat is cooking, melt the butter in a medium-size skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the flour and cook about 1 minute. Whisk in milk, bring up to a bubble and let thicken, about 2 minutes. Turn off heat and stir the cheese in a figure-eight motion until it is all incorporated.

Step

In a salad bowl, toss the salami, cheese, pepperoncini, Bibb lettuce and arugula with the EVOO and red wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

To serve, place a scoopful of the meat mixture onto the bottom of the rolls, then top with the cheese sauce and replace the top of the roll. Serve the salad alongside.
