Ingredients
Meat and Vegetables
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Liquids and Sauces
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp steak sauce
- ½ cup beef broth
Seasonings
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Bread and Cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 slices provolone cheese
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil: Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to prepare for sautéing.
- Brown the ground beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it into smaller pieces as it cooks. Drain excess grease if necessary to keep the mixture from being too oily.
- Sauté onions and peppers: Add the diced onion and green bell pepper to the beef and cook for 4–5 minutes until they become soft and translucent.
- Add garlic: Stir in minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds to release its aroma and flavor without burning.
- Mix in sauces and broth: Pour in Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, steak sauce, and beef broth, then stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Simmer the mixture: Let the mixture simmer gently for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens into a hearty sloppy joe filling.
- Toast the buns: While the mixture simmers, toast the hamburger buns lightly to enhance texture and prevent sogginess.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Spoon the beef mixture evenly onto each bun, then top with a slice of provolone cheese on each.
- Melt the cheese: Optionally, place sandwiches under the broiler for 1–2 minutes until the provolone melts perfectly.
- Serve immediately: Enjoy your Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes hot for the best flavors and texture.
Notes
- Substitute ground turkey for ground beef for a leaner alternative.
- Include thinly sliced mushrooms for a more authentic cheesesteak flavor.
- Toasting buns helps prevent them from becoming soggy from the beef mixture.
