  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

For the Beef Mixture

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, finely diced (about 1-1/2 cups)
  • 1 large green bell pepper, finely diced
  • 1 pound lean ground beef (93/7)
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup A1 steak sauce
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons beef bouillon powder
  • 1/2 cup water

For Assembly

  • 6 brioche buns
  • 6 slices provolone cheese
  • Softened butter for spreading

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Finely dice the yellow onion and green bell pepper. Mince the garlic and set all ingredients aside to have them ready for cooking.
  2. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to toast the buns later in the recipe.
  3. Brown the Beef and Veggies: Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the diced onions and green peppers, sautéing until they turn golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. Push the sautéed vegetables to the edges of the pan, add the ground beef to the center, and let it sear briefly before breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, paprika, and minced garlic over the beef as it cooks. Continue cooking and crumbling the beef until it’s fully browned and no longer pink.
  4. Simmer the Mixture: Stir in A1 steak sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, beef bouillon powder, and water. Reduce heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer until most of the liquid evaporates yet the mixture stays saucy, about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust salt if needed to ensure balanced seasoning.
  5. Toast the Buns: While the beef simmers, split the brioche buns and lay them cut side up on a sheet pan. Generously spread softened butter on each half and bake in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes or until the buns are nicely toasted. Remove the tops and set them aside.
  6. Assemble Sandwiches: Spoon the savory beef mixture evenly onto the toasted bottom halves of the buns. Place one slice of provolone cheese on top of each piled beef mixture. Return the assembled bottoms to the oven and bake for 5 to 10 minutes, just long enough to fully melt the cheese.
  7. Serve: Once the cheese has melted, remove from the oven and cap each sandwich with the toasted bun tops. Serve hot and enjoy the rich flavors and comforting textures of your homemade Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes.

Notes

  • Use 1 large yellow onion finely diced to add sweetness and texture to the beef mixture.
  • Adjust the seasoning after simmering to ensure the right balance; you can add more salt or spices as preferred.
  • Using brioche buns adds a slightly sweet, rich flavor that complements the savory beef mixture and melted cheese.
  • The provolone cheese melts well and pairs perfectly with the flavors of a Philly cheesesteak.
  • For a leaner option, consider using 90/10 ground beef but expect a slightly less juicy mixture.
