Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes Recipe
A quick Philly-inspired sloppy joe with savory beef, sautéed peppers and onions, and melty provolone served on toasted buns — all the flavor of a cheesesteak in an easy sandwich.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 pound ground beef (80/20)
- 1 cup yellow onion, diced
- 0.5 cup green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 clove garlic, minced
- 0.75 cup ketchup
- 0.5 cup beef broth low-sodium preferred
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slice provolone cheese or American cheese
- 4 bun hamburger buns toasted
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the diced onion and sliced green pepper; sauté until softened and translucent, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Stir in the ketchup, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. If mixture is too thick, add a splash more broth; if too thin, simmer a few more minutes.
- Spoon the beef mixture onto the toasted buns, top each with a slice of provolone, and place under a hot broiler for 1 to 2 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve hot with pickles or fries, and enjoy your Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes.
Notes
For a more authentic cheesesteak texture, substitute thinly sliced ribeye for the ground beef and cook quickly over high heat. You can also add sautéed mushrooms if desired.
