Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Vegetables
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup mushrooms, chopped (optional)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings and Sauces
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
Thickener and Broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 3/4 cup beef broth
Cheese and Bread
- 4 slices provolone cheese, chopped or shredded
- 4 hamburger buns, toasted
Instructions
- Brown the Meat: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain excess grease if needed.
- Cook the Vegetables: Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, mushrooms (if using), and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
- Season the Mixture: Stir in Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all flavors.
- Thicken the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and beef broth until smooth. Pour the mixture into the skillet and stir frequently. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until the mixture thickens to a sloppy joe consistency.
- Melt the Cheese: Turn off the heat and fold in the chopped provolone cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Assemble and Serve: Spoon the cheesy beef mixture onto the toasted hamburger buns. Serve hot and enjoy your Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes.
Notes
- For a lower-carb option, serve the filling in lettuce wraps or over roasted vegetables instead of buns.
- Substitute provolone cheese with mozzarella or American cheese for a different flavor.
- Drain excess grease after browning the beef to reduce fat content.
- You can add mushrooms or omit them based on your preference.
