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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Meanwhile, mix cornstarch and water together in a small bowl.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
