This Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes recipe combines the rich flavors of a classic Philly cheesesteak with the comfort and ease of sloppy joes. Ground beef is cooked with onions and bell peppers, simmered in a savory sauce enriched with ketchup, Worcestershire, and steak sauce, then finished with creamy provolone cheese. Served on toasted brioche buns with melted provolone on top, these sandwiches are a flavorful, cheesy, and satisfying meal perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon butter (or oil)
  • 1 pound lean ground beef (85% lean)
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 3 Tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon A1 steak sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
  • 6 slices provolone cheese
  • 6 brioche buns, buttered and toasted

Instructions

  1. Cook Beef and Vegetables: Heat butter or oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, diced onion, and diced green bell pepper. Cook while breaking up the beef, stirring often, until the beef is browned and vegetables have softened, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess grease from the skillet.
  2. Add Sauces and Seasonings: Stir in ketchup, A1 steak sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, and black pepper. Cook the mixture for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld with the meat.
  3. Thicken the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and beef broth until smooth. Pour this mixture into the skillet and bring it to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
  4. Melt in Shredded Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in 1 cup shredded provolone cheese. Cover the skillet with a lid for 30 to 60 seconds, then stir again until the cheese is fully incorporated and stringy.
  5. Broil Cheese on Buns: Place the tops of the buttered and toasted brioche buns on a baking sheet. Add 1 slice of provolone cheese to each bun top. Broil in the oven for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully, until the cheese melts and bubbles.
  6. Assemble and Serve: Spoon the cheesy beef mixture onto the bottom halves of the buns. Top with the provolone-topped bun halves. Serve immediately while warm and melty.

Notes

  • Using lean ground beef helps reduce excess grease and keeps the sandwich hearty but not greasy.
  • Simmering with cornstarch-thickened broth creates a glossy sauce that coats the beef perfectly.
  • Broiling the cheese on the buns adds a delicious melted cheesy texture on top.
  • Feel free to substitute provolone with mozzarella or cheddar if preferred.
  • To save time, you can prepare the beef mixture ahead of time and reheat before assembling.
  • Brioche buns add a slightly sweet, rich flavor that complements the savory filling.
