Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 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
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 tsp cornstarch (approximate measure for thickening)
Instructions
- Brown the Beef: Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add the lean ground beef. Cook until browned throughout, breaking it up as it cooks. Once browned, remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same pan, melt the butter and add the diced onions, green bell peppers, and minced mushrooms. Sauté until the vegetables are softened and browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the beef broth, ketchup, cornstarch, salt, and pepper until well combined. Pour this mixture into the pan with the sautéed vegetables. Simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it thickens into a rich sauce.
- Combine Beef and Sauce: Return the browned beef to the pan and stir thoroughly to combine with the thickened vegetable sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Add Cheese: Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped or shredded provolone cheese until it melts completely into the mixture, creating a creamy cheesy texture.
- Toast Buns: Butter the brioche buns lightly and toast them in a separate pan or on a griddle over medium heat until golden and crisp.
- Serve: Spoon the cheesy beef mixture generously onto the toasted brioche buns. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef to reduce excess fat and make the sandwich less greasy.
- Minced mushrooms add a nice umami flavor and texture similar to traditional Philly cheesesteak mushrooms.
- The cornstarch helps thicken the broth mixture into a perfect sloppy joe consistency.
- Brioche buns are preferred for their slight sweetness and soft, buttery texture which complements the savory filling.
- If provolone cheese is not available, mozzarella or American cheese can be used as alternatives.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to your taste for the best flavor balance.
