Why You’ll Love Gordon Ramsay Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes Recipe
I enjoy how fast this recipe comes together while still tasting like something special. I get bold, savory flavor from the beef and vegetables, balanced perfectly with creamy melted cheese. The brioche buns add a soft, slightly sweet contrast that makes the whole sandwich feel indulgent. I also appreciate how simple the ingredients are, making it easy for me to prepare on busy weeknights or for casual family dinners.
Ingredients
(Note: All ingredient amounts are listed in the recipe card below.)
450g halal lean ground beef 30g butter 1 small yellow onion, diced 1 small green bell pepper, diced 230g brown mushrooms, minced 30g ketchup 240ml halal beef broth 225g provolone cheese (made with microbial rennet), chopped or shredded 6 brioche hamburger buns
Directions
I begin by browning the halal lean ground beef in a hot pan, breaking it apart as it cooks. Once fully browned, I remove it from the pan and set it aside.
In the same pan, I melt the butter and sauté the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced mushrooms until they are softened and lightly browned.
In a bowl, I mix the halal beef broth, cornstarch, ketchup, salt, and pepper. I pour this mixture into the sautéed vegetables and let it simmer until it thickens into a rich, flavorful sauce.
I return the cooked beef to the pan and stir everything together thoroughly so the meat absorbs the sauce.
I turn off the heat and stir in the provolone cheese, allowing it to melt completely into the mixture, creating a creamy, cheesy filling.
Separately, I butter and toast the brioche buns until golden and slightly crisp.
Finally, I generously spoon the cheesy beef mixture onto the toasted buns and serve them warm.
I sometimes swap the provolone for mozzarella for a slightly milder flavor. When I want extra depth, I caramelize the onions a bit longer. I also like adding sliced jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes when I’m in the mood for heat. If I prefer a lighter option, I substitute ground turkey for the beef. For extra richness, I occasionally place an additional slice of cheese on the bun before adding the hot filling.
Storage/Reheating
I store the beef mixture separately from the buns in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. When reheating, I warm it gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth if it becomes too thick. I always toast fresh buns before assembling to keep the texture perfect. If I freeze the filling, I let it cool completely and store it in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months, thawing overnight before reheating.
FAQs
Can I prepare the filling in advance?
Yes, I often make the beef mixture ahead of time and simply reheat it before serving.
Can I freeze the sloppy joe mixture?
I freeze the filling without the buns, and it reheats very well once thawed.
What buns work best?
I prefer brioche buns for their soft texture and slight sweetness, but I also use soft sandwich rolls.
Can I use a different cheese?
Yes, I use mozzarella or white American cheese when I want a different melt and flavor.
How do I prevent soggy buns?
I make sure to toast the buns well and assemble the sandwiches just before serving.
Can I add more vegetables?
I like adding extra mushrooms or thinly sliced peppers for more flavor and texture.
Is this recipe spicy?
I find it mild as written, but I can easily add chili flakes or jalapeños for more heat.
Can I use ground turkey instead?
Yes, I substitute ground turkey when I want a lighter option, and it still tastes delicious.
How do I thicken the sauce properly?
I ensure the broth mixture simmers long enough to activate the cornstarch and create a thick consistency.
What sides pair well with this dish?
I usually serve it with fries, roasted potatoes, or a simple green salad.
