The Philly cheesesteak, a beloved American classic, has its roots in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This iconic sandwich is traditionally made with thinly sliced ribeye steak, melted cheese, and a variety of toppings, all served in a fresh hoagie roll. The exact origins of the cheesesteak are often disputed, but it is widely believed that it was created in the early 1930s by Pat Olivieri, a hot dog vendor who decided to grill some beef on his cart. The sandwich quickly gained popularity and became a local staple, eventually finding its way into the hearts and stomachs of people across the nation.

Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

1 green bell pepper, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup beef broth

4 slices provolone cheese (or cheese of your choice)

4 large hamburger buns

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Beef: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain excess fat if necessary.

    Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally for even cooking.

      Add Flavor: Stir in the minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

        Add Broth: Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow the mixture to cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until some of the broth has evaporated and the mixture thickens slightly.

          Melt the Cheese: Reduce heat to low, top the beef mixture with slices of provolone cheese, and cover the skillet. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

            Assemble the Sloppy Joes: Toast the hamburger buns if desired. Spoon generous amounts of the cheesesteak mixture onto the bottom half of each bun. Top with chopped parsley for freshness, then place the top half of the bun on each.

              Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Philly cheesesteak sloppy joes warm with your choice of sides, such as potato chips or a light salad.
