- Ingredients
1 pound lean ground beef
2 tablespoons butter
1 small yellow onion diced
1 small green bell pepper diced
8 ounces brown mushrooms minced
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup beef broth
8 ounces Provolone Cheese Slices chopped (use 6oz if you don’t want it very cheesy)
6 brioche hamburger buns
- How To Make
Add the ground beef to a large cast iron skillet (this browns very well) and brown until a deep brown crust appears before breaking the beef apart.
Stir the ground beef and brown until a deep crust appears on about 50 or so percent of the beef.
Remove the beef (you can leave the fat) and add the butter and the onions and bell peppers and mushrooms.
Let brown for 1-2 minutes before stirring, then let brown for another 1-2 minutes before stirring again.
Add the beef back into the pan.
In a small cup mix the beef broth and cornstarch together
Add the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, beef broth/cornstarch mixture into the pan.
Cook until the mixture is only slightly liquidy (about 75% of the mixture is above liquid), 3-5 minutes.
Turn off the heat, add in the provolone cheese.
Served on toasted brioche buns.
Tips to make your Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes even better :
Meat Choice: While ground beef is the classic choice, you can use ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option. For an authentic Philly cheesesteak feel, you can even use thinly sliced steak (like ribeye) that’s chopped up into small pieces, but this will take a bit more time.
Balance the Sauce: The sauce should have a nice balance of tangy, sweet, and savory. Adjust the amount of ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard to your preference. If you like it spicier, add a bit of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Sauté the Veggies Well: Don’t rush the onions and bell peppers – sauté them until they’re nice and soft, even a little caramelized. This brings out their natural sweetness and enhances the overall flavor of the dish.
Cheese Melting Technique: To achieve the ultimate gooey cheese effect, melt the cheese directly into the meat mixture by placing a lid on the skillet once the cheese is added. This helps it melt evenly and makes the filling extra creamy.
Toast the Buns: Lightly butter and toast your buns in a skillet or under the broiler for a few minutes. This adds extra flavor and helps prevent the buns from getting soggy, keeping your Sloppy Joes firm and easy to eat.
Add More Toppings: For added crunch and flavor, try adding some fresh toppings, like sliced pickles, jalapeños, or a handful of fresh arugula. A drizzle of ranch dressing or even a little bit of hot sauce can also elevate the flavor.
Make It Ahead: The filling can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for a day or two. Just reheat it gently before serving, and add the cheese right before serving to get that perfect melt.
Serving Sides: Serve your Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes with crispy fries, onion rings, or a fresh side salad to balance out the richness of the sandwich.
With these tips, your Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes will be an irresistible, cheesy, and flavorful meal that everyone will love!
