Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joe Food

PHILLY CHEESE STEAK SLOPPY JOES

Steps:

• Add the ground beef to a large cast iron skillet (this browns very well) and brown until a deep brown crust appears before breaking the beef apart.
• Stir the ground beef and brown until a deep crust appears on about 50 or so percent of the beef.
• Remove the beef (you can leave the fat) and add the butter and the onions and bell peppers and mushrooms.
• Let brown for 1-2 minutes before stirring, then let brown for another 1-2 minutes before stirring again.
• Add the beef back into the pan.
• In a small cup mix the beef broth and cornstarch together
• Add the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, beef broth/cornstarch mixture into the pan.
• Cook until the mixture is only slightly liquidy (about 75% of the mixture is above liquid), 3-5 minutes.
• Turn off the heat, add in the provolone cheese.
• Served on toasted brioche buns.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Split buns and lay them cut side up on a large baking tray (15x21). Lightly brush the cut sides with softened butter or mayonnaise (optional for crispier/more flavorful buns). Bake for 5 minutes to toast the buns. Meanwhile you can continue with the recipe:
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef, onions and bell peppers and cook until beef is browned and onions are softened, about 7 minutes. Add garlic, and sauté 30 seconds.
• In a liquid measuring cup (or small bowl), whisk the beef broth, cornstarch and beef bouillon together until smooth. Add to the meat mixture followed by the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon and all seasonings.
• Gently simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has been absorbed, but the mixture is still a little saucy, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the sharp cheddar cheese until melted. Taste and season with salt, pepper, red pepper flakes to taste (I like more salt). Keep in mind the flavors will be diluted with the cheese and buns.
• Divide mixture between the bottom toasted buns and top each with a slice of provolone cheese. Bake (leaving both top and bottoms cut side up) at 400 degrees F for 5-10 minutes or until cheese is completely melted. Top the sandwiches and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Add the oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook 5-6 minutes or until no longer pink. Add the onion and bell pepper and continue to cook 2-3 minutes or until crisp tender. Drain off any fat. Stir in the steak sauce and beef broth (and Worcestershire, if using). Season with salt and pepper. Cook until liquid is gone.
• Butter the cut sides of the buns. Toast the buttered sides in a hot skillet on medium-high heat. Set aside.
• To make the cheese sauce, melt the butter in a 1-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour and cook about 1 minute. Whisk in milk, bring up to a bubble and cook until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the cheese. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.
• To serve, place a scoop of the meat mixture onto the bottom half of the buns. Top with cheese sauce (or cheese) and cover with the top half of the bun.
