Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Dairy
- 450g lean ground beef
- 30g butter
- 225g provolone cheese, chopped or shredded
Vegetables
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 small green bell pepper, diced
- 230g brown mushrooms, minced
Other Ingredients
- 30g ketchup
- 240ml beef broth
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 6 brioche hamburger buns
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (estimated, for thickening)
Instructions
- Brown the beef: Heat a pan over medium-high heat and brown the lean ground beef thoroughly. Once cooked, remove the beef from the pan and set it aside.
- Sauté vegetables: In the same pan, melt the butter and add the diced onions, green bell peppers, and minced brown mushrooms. Cook them until they are browned and softened, releasing their flavors.
- Prepare sauce: In a small bowl, combine the beef broth, ketchup, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Pour this mixture into the pan with the sautéed vegetables and simmer gently until the sauce thickens to a sloppy joe consistency.
- Combine beef and sauce: Return the browned ground beef to the pan and stir well to mix with the thickened vegetable sauce.
- Melt cheese: Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped or shredded provolone cheese until it melts completely and blends into the beef mixture, creating a creamy texture.
- Toast buns: Butter the brioche buns and toast them separately in a pan or under a broiler until they are golden and slightly crisp.
- Assemble and serve: Spoon the cheesy beef mixture onto the toasted brioche buns. Serve the sandwiches warm for a delicious, comforting meal.
Notes
- Using lean ground beef helps reduce excess grease and keeps the sandwich flavorful but not greasy.
- Minced mushrooms add depth of flavor and help mimic the texture traditionally found in a Philly cheesesteak.
- The addition of cornstarch is essential for thickening the broth into a rich sauce consistency.
- Provolone cheese melts well and complements the savory beef and vegetables perfectly.
- Brioche buns add a slightly sweet, soft, yet sturdy base that holds the sloppy joe filling well.
- Customize with additional seasonings like garlic powder or smoked paprika for an extra flavor boost.
