Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings: 6
Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 6 brioche hamburger buns
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small yellow onion finely diced
  • 1 small green bell pepper finely diced
  • 8 ounces brown mushrooms finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 8 ounces Provolone Cheese Slices chopped (reduce to 6 oz for a less cheesy finish)

Method
 

  1. Begin by placing the ground beef in a large cast iron skillet to enhance browning. Cook until a deep brown crust forms before crumbling the meat. Continue to cook until about half of the beef develops a similar crusty exterior.
  2. After removing the beef, maintain the drippings in the pan and melt in the butter. Add the onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms to the skillet. Allow them to brown for 1-2 minutes before stirring. Repeat the process to ensure the vegetables develop a rich, caramelized color.
  3. Reintroduce the beef to the skillet. In a separate container, blend the beef broth with the cornstarch until smooth. Incorporate this mixture into the skillet along with ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir and cook until the sauce thickens and most of the liquid is absorbed, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the chopped Provolone cheese until it melts and blends into the meaty mixture seamlessly.
  5. Serve the savory filling hot, spooned generously onto the toasted brioche buns.

Notes

When preparing your Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes, consider adding personal touches to enhance the flavors and make the dish uniquely yours. Adding toppings like sautéed onions can deepen the flavor profile, while jalapeños introduce a spicy kick. For those who enjoy a bit of zest, a splash of hot sauce can really elevate the dish. Feel free to adjust the amount of chili powder or cayenne pepper to match your taste preference, ensuring every bite is as mild or as fiery as you desire. Experimenting with these additions not only personalizes your meal but also makes the cooking experience more enjoyable and tailored to your liking.
