Prepare Time
- Preparation Time: 10 minutes
- Cooking Time: 20 minutes
- Total Time: 30 minutes
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 fresh ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup beef broth
- 8 ounces Provolone Cheese Slices, chopped (use 6oz if less cheesy preferred)
- 6 brioche hamburger buns
Directions
- Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the ground beef. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until browned and no pink remains.
- Add Vegetables: Stir in the diced onions, green bell pepper, and minced mushrooms. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Mix Flavors: Add ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Thicken the Sauce: Sprinkle cornstarch over the beef mixture, then pour in the beef broth. Stir and cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Add Cheese: Lower the heat and mix in the chopped Provolone cheese until melted and combined.
- Serve: Spoon the mixture onto toasted brioche buns and serve immediately.
Cook Notes
For an even richer flavor, you can substitute the Provolone with a mix of Provolone and American cheeses, or add a splash of steak sauce for a deeper savory note.
Variations
- Spicy Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes: Add jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the beef mixture for a spicy kick.
- Mushroom Lover’s Version: Double the mushrooms for a more umami-packed sandwich.
Keto Version
Swap the brioche buns for low-carb keto-friendly buns and use sugar-free ketchup.
Low-Carb Version
Follow the keto adjustments and serve the Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joe mix over a bed of lettuce wraps instead of buns.
