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

Steps:

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.
