PHILLY CHEESESTEAK SLOPPY JOES

by

1. Cook the Beef Mixture

  1. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
  3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Brown the Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or spatula, until browned and cooked through.
  5. Season and Simmer: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  6. Thicken the Sauce: Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet, stirring well to combine. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens.
  7. Add Cheese: Stir in the shredded provolone cheese until melted and well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

2. Prepare the Buns

  1. Toast Buns (Optional): If desired, lightly toast the hamburger buns or sub rolls in a toaster or under a broiler for extra texture.

3. Assemble the Sloppy Joes

  1. Spoon the Filling: Spoon the Philly cheesesteak beef mixture onto the bottom half of each bun or roll.
  2. Add Cheese (Optional): Top with a slice of provolone cheese if desired. The heat from the beef mixture will melt the cheese.
  3. Add Toppings (Optional): Add pickles or condiments such as ketchup or mustard if desired.
  4. Top and Serve: Place the top half of the bun or roll over the filling. Serve immediately while warm.

Tips for Perfect Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes

  • Customizing Cheese: Feel free to use other cheeses like cheddar or Swiss if you prefer.
  • Extra Veggies: Add mushrooms or additional veggies for extra flavor and texture.
  • Make Ahead: The beef mixture can be made ahead of time and reheated when ready to serve. It also freezes well for future meals.

Variations

  • Spicy Version: Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the beef mixture for a spicy kick.
  • Sweet Peppers: Swap the green bell pepper for red or yellow bell peppers for a sweeter flavor.
