Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes
Description
This recipe transforms ground beef into a flavorful filling by browning the meat until it develops a deep crust, which adds complexity. The beef is then integrated with butter-sautéed onions, green bell peppers, and finely minced mushrooms, creating a vegetable component that softens and complements the meat's richness. A mixture of ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper blends with beef broth and a cornstarch slurry to form a thickened sauce that coats the ingredients well.
Provolone cheese is added off the heat, gradually melting into the hot mixture and imparting a creamy texture and mild tang. The filling is best served on toasted brioche buns, whose slight sweetness balances the savory beef and vegetables. The sandwich is suitable as a substantial main course for lunch or dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef lean
- 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 black pepper fresh ground
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup beef broth
- 8 ounces provolone cheese chopped (use 6oz if you don't want it very cheesy, slices
- 6 brioche hamburger buns
Instructions
- 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. Start with half the cheese and then add a bit more at a time until it's as cheesy as you like it.
- Served on toasted brioche buns.
