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
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup beef broth
8 ounces Provolone Cheese Slices, chopped (use 6oz if you don’t want it very cheesy)
6 brioche hamburger buns
Steps
Get the beef and then put it at the bottom of a cast iron skillet to make sure that you brown this well. From there, leave it in there and brown it until you see a crust that’s a deep brown appearing before the beef breaks apart.
From there, make sure that about half of the beef has the deep crust before you continue on with this.
You want to take out the beef, but leave the fat, and then, put the butter in there, along with the onions, mushrooms, and the peppers. Let this sit to brown for a couple of minutes before it stirs, and then, let this brown for another couple of minutes before it begins to stir it once more.
Put the beef into the pan once again.
From there, take a cup, mix the cornstarch and the beef broth together, and from there, add the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, the black pepper, salt, and the mixture of beef and cornstarch directly into the pan. Cook this until it’s only barely liquid, where about ¾ of the mixture is over the liquid, which is about 3-5 minutes or so.
Turn off your heat, and from there, add in your provolone cheese to the mixture.
From there, get the brioche bunds, put them in the toaster oven or the toaster for convenience, and then toast these.
When finished, put them down on a plate or a baking sheet, and then, spoon a bit of the mixture into the bunds itself.
You can then serve this with some homemade fries, or any other kind of wonderful side dish, even coleslaw if you want to make it a truly fun Philly Cheese Steak and sloppy joe mixture that you won’t be able to get enough of, and something that’ll make you want to try more and more of this again and again, especially with your own personal recipes or additions you want to add in this too.
