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
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup beef broth
- 8 ounces provolone cheese slices, chopped (use 6 oz for a less cheesy version)
- 6 brioche hamburger buns
Instructions
- Brown the Beef: Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until it develops a deep brown crust on the bottom before breaking it apart. Continue cooking until about 50% of the beef has a rich crust.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Remove the beef from the skillet and add the butter, diced onions, bell peppers, and minced mushrooms. Allow the vegetables to brown for 1-2 minutes without stirring, then stir and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Make the Sauce: Return the beef to the skillet. In a small cup, whisk together the beef broth and cornstarch until smooth. Pour this mixture into the skillet along with the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Simmer: Let the mixture cook until it thickens and becomes slightly less liquidy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Melt the Cheese: Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped provolone cheese until melted and gooey.
- Serve: Serve the Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joe mixture piled high on toasted brioche buns.
