Strip Steak Manwich

Okay, so this is really a bit of silliness on my part.
Christey and I were watching TV when a Manwich commercial was on and she said she never liked them. I always did, as a kid and as a starving college freshman (oddly, I was mostly vegetarian for the rest of my college career). I told her I bet I could make her a Manwich she’d like, and she told me to go for it.
For those outside the US, a Manwich is Hunts’ trademark for their version of a sloppy joe, basically spiced tomato sauce and maybe some minced vegetables mixed with browned hamburger and served on a hamburger bun. It’s commonly either a different take for those bored with a hamburger, or a way for a family to stretch a bit of meat a longer way. It’s Americana comfort food, especially family comfort food, in the same sense as Kraft macaroni and cheese, Oscar Meyer hot dogs, or bologna and cheese sandwiches.
So, of course I figured I’d take a comfort food classic and elevate it a bit. But, don’t take me seriously on this, because I certainly didn’t. This was just craziness.
A sandwich is a sandwich, but this manwich is something else…
