One of the great things about this recipe is its versatility. While traditional Philly cheese steaks are typically made with thinly sliced steak, here, we use lean ground beef as a more accessible and budget-friendly alternative. The ground beef is browned to perfection in a large cast iron skillet, creating a deep, caramelized crust that adds layers of flavor to the dish.
But the magic truly happens when we add in the vegetables. Diced onions, green bell peppers, and minced brown mushrooms are sautéed in butter until they’re tender and golden brown, infusing the dish with their sweet and savory notes. Not only do these veggies add texture and flavor, but they also sneak in some extra nutrients, making this meal both delicious and nutritious.
Next comes the sauce—a savory blend of ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper, along with a cornstarch-thickened beef broth that adds richness and depth. As the sauce simmers and thickens, it coats every morsel of beef and veggies, creating a luscious, velvety texture that is pure comfort food bliss.
And let’s not forget about the cheese! No Philly cheese steak would be complete without a generous helping of gooey, melted cheese, and these sloppy joes are no exception. Chopped Provolone cheese is added to the skillet, where it melts into the mixture, adding a creamy richness that ties everything together beautifully.
Once the filling is ready, it’s time to assemble the sandwiches. Brioche hamburger buns are toasted until golden and crisp, providing the perfect vessel for all that cheesy, meaty goodness. Each bite is a symphony of flavors and textures, with the buttery sweetness of the buns balancing out the savory umami of the beef and cheese.
Nutritionally, these Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes are surprisingly balanced. Each serving packs in 523 calories, with plenty of protein from the lean ground beef and cheese, as well as fiber and essential nutrients from the veggies. Plus, they’re so delicious that you won’t even realize you’re eating something that’s good for you!
