Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes Recipe

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 freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 cup beef broth
• 8 ounces Provolone cheese slices, chopped (use 6 oz if you prefer less cheese)
• 6 brioche hamburger buns

Instructions

1. Cook the Ground Beef:

   In a large cast iron skillet, add the ground beef and cook until a deep brown crust forms. Break apart the beef, letting about half of it develop a crust for added flavor.

2. Add Vegetables:

   Remove the browned beef from the skillet (leaving any remaining fat) and add butter, onions, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Allow the vegetables to brown for 1-2 minutes without stirring, then stir and let them brown for another 1-2 minutes.

3. Combine Ingredients:

   Return the beef to the skillet with the vegetables. In a small cup, mix the beef broth with cornstarch until smooth.

4. Season and Simmer:

   Add ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and the beef broth/cornstarch mixture to the skillet. Simmer until the mixture thickens, so that about 75% of it sits above the liquid, about 3-5 minutes.

5. Add Cheese:

   Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped Provolone cheese until it melts into the mixture.

6. Serve:

   Spoon the cheesy beef mixture onto toasted brioche buns and serve warm.

Tips

For an extra savory touch, toast the brioche buns with a little butter before adding the beef mixture. Enjoy your Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes!
