Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes are a delicious twist on the classic Philly Cheesesteak sandwich and the Sloppy Joe sandwich. This recipe combines the flavors of thinly sliced steak, sautéed onions and peppers, and melted cheese, all served on a bun. Here’s a basic recipe to make Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes:
Ingredients:
For the Sloppy Joe Filling:
- 1 pound ground beef or ground steak
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 bell pepper (green or red), finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Assembling:
- Hoagie rolls or hamburger buns
- Sliced provolone or American cheese (or Cheese Whiz for a more authentic Philly experience)
Instructions:
- In a large skillet or frying pan, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onions and bell peppers and sauté until they become soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the ground beef or ground steak to the other side. Cook the meat, breaking it up with a spatula as it browns.
- Once the meat is browned and cooked through, combine it with the sautéed vegetables in the skillet.
- Stir in the beef broth, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Simmer for a few minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. If it gets too thick, you can add a bit more beef broth.
- Once the filling is heated through and well combined, reduce the heat to low.
- Open the hoagie rolls or hamburger buns and place a slice of cheese on one side of each bun.
- Spoon the Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joe filling onto the other side of the buns.
- If desired, add an additional slice of cheese on top of the filling.
- Place the assembled sandwiches under the broiler for a minute or two until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Carefully remove the sandwiches from the broiler, close them up, and serve hot.
