Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes; guest post

Chandra's take: "I loved this recipe! Super flavorful, ridiculously easy and my favorite.... not to mention CHEAP! This will definitely get brought into the regular rotation. Next time I might just use provolone slices instead of making a cheese sauce. I think it will taste just as good, cut down time even more, and dirty one less dish."

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
• Preheat broiler.
  

  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!
  

  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.
  

  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.
