These have the flavor of our favorite restaurant cheese steaks (from PepperJax), but with the simplicity of ground beef and other kitchen staples that make this dish as easy and economical as it is delicious.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons salted butter
1 medium white onion, diced
1 medium green bell pepper, diced
2 pounds ground beef
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
1 (14.5 ounce) can beef broth
¼ cup steak sauce (such as A1®)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons minced pickled jalapeno peppers
1 tablespoon pickled jalapeno pepper juice
1 teaspoon Creole seasoning (such as Tony Chachere's®), or to taste
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
8 slices provolone cheese
1 (16 ounce) package wheat hamburger buns, split and toasted

Directions

Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper; saute until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Add ground beef, garlic, salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Cook and stir until beef is browned and crumbly, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
Add broth, steak sauce, Worcestershire sauce, jalapeno peppers and juice, and 1/2 teaspoon Creole seasoning; stir to combine, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix cornstarch and water together in a small bowl.
Add cornstarch slurry to beef mixture and cook to desired consistency, 1 to 2 minutes. Taste and add additional Creole seasoning and pepper if needed. Turn off heat.
Melt 1 slice of provolone cheese on top of the meat. Scoop the meat from under the provolone and place on a toasted bun. Repeat with remaining cheese and buns and serve immediately.
