Description
An indulgent twist on the classic sloppy joe, featuring ground beef with flavorful Philadelphia cheesesteak elements, served in toasted brioche buns.
Ingredients
Scale
- 450g lean ground beef
- 30g butter
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 small green bell pepper, diced
- 230g brown mushrooms, minced
- 30g ketchup
- 240ml beef broth
- 225g provolone cheese, chopped or shredded
- 6 brioche hamburger buns
Instructions
- Brown the beef: In a large skillet, heat the pan over medium-high heat. Add the lean ground beef and cook until it’s nicely browned, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. Once browned, remove and set aside.
- Sauté the vegetables: In the same pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onions, bell peppers, and minced mushrooms. Sauté until they’re beautifully browned and fragrant, about 6-8 minutes.
- Prepare the sauce: Whisk together the beef broth, ketchup, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Pour this mixture over the sautéed veggies, lowering the heat to a simmer. Cook until the sauce has thickened, approximately 5 minutes.
- Combine the beef: Gently return the browned beef to the skillet, mixing it into the vegetable sauce. Stir until everything is well combined.
- Melt the cheese: Turn off the heat and stir in the provolone cheese until it melts into the filling.
- Toast the buns: Butter each brioche bun lightly and toast them in a separate pan until golden brown.
- Assemble to serve: Spoon the cheesy beef mixture onto the toasted buns and serve warm.
Notes
Make-ahead tips: Prepare the beef mixture a day in advance and refrigerate. Reheat while toasting the buns for quick serving.
