- Step 4: Return the browned beef to the pan and mix everything together well.
- Step 5: Turn off the heat and stir in the provolone cheese until it is completely melted and the mixture is creamy.
- Step 6: Butter the brioche buns and toast them separately in a pan until they turn golden brown.
- Step 7: Fill each toasted bun with the cheesy beef mixture and serve warm.
Tips & Variations
- For extra richness, add a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the beef mixture while cooking.
- Substitute provolone with mozzarella or cheddar if preferred for a different cheese flavor.
- Add a few dashes of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
- If you want a thicker sauce, mix a teaspoon of cornstarch with the beef broth before adding to the pan.
Storage
Store any leftover cheesy beef mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan over low heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through. Keep buns separate and toast fresh before serving to maintain texture.

FAQs
Can I use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef?
Yes, ground turkey or chicken can be used as a leaner alternative, but the flavor will be milder. Adjust seasoning to taste and cook thoroughly.
Can I prepare the filling ahead of time?

Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 450g lean ground beef
- 30g butter
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 small green bell pepper, diced
- 230g brown mushrooms, minced
- 30g ketchup
- 240ml beef broth
- 225g provolone cheese, chopped or shredded
- 6 brioche hamburger buns
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (for thickening)
Instructions
- Brown the Beef: Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add the lean ground beef. Brown the beef thoroughly until cooked through, breaking it apart as it cooks. Once browned, remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same pan, melt the butter. Add the diced yellow onion, green bell pepper, and minced mushrooms. Sauté them until they are nicely browned and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Prepare Sauce: In a bowl, mix the beef broth, cornstarch, ketchup, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture into the sautéed vegetables and bring to a simmer. Cook until the sauce thickens and coats the veggies evenly, about 3-5 minutes.
- Combine Beef and Sauce: Return the browned ground beef to the pan and mix thoroughly with the thickened vegetable sauce, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.
- Melt Cheese: Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped or shredded provolone cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese fully melts into the beef mixture, creating a creamy texture.
- Toast Buns: Butter the brioche hamburger buns lightly on both sides. Toast them in a separate pan over medium heat until golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Assemble and Serve: Spoon the cheesy beef mixture generously onto the toasted brioche buns. Serve warm for a delicious and hearty Philly cheesesteak sloppy joe experience.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the beef mixture.
- You can substitute provolone cheese with mozzarella or cheddar for a different cheese flavor.
- Ensure the beef broth is low sodium if you want to control salt content.
- Butter the buns just before toasting to avoid sogginess and to add flavor and crispness.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
