Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes Recipe

Step 3: Sauté the Vegetables

1. In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and bell pepper.
2. Cook for 5–6 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.
3. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4: Make the Sloppy Joe Sauce

1. Lower the heat to medium.
2. Add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, Dijon mustard, and soy sauce to the skillet. Stir to combine.
3. Let it simmer for 3–4 minutes. If you prefer a thicker sauce, stir in the cornstarch-water mixture and cook until the sauce thickens.

Step 5: Combine Beef and Sauce

1. Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the sauce and vegetables.
2. Stir everything together so the beef is coated in the flavorful sauce.
3. Simmer for an additional 2–3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 6: Assemble the Sloppy Joes

1. Toast your sandwich buns lightly for extra texture and flavor.
2. Spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture onto each bun.
3. Place a slice of provolone or American cheese over the hot beef. The residual heat will melt the cheese perfectly.
4. Optional: top with pickled jalapeños or sautéed mushrooms for an extra layer of flavor.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Serve these Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes hot with your favorite side—crispy fries, onion rings, or a fresh salad. The messy, cheesy goodness is best enjoyed immediately while warm.

Tips for Perfection:

• Beef choice matters: Ribeye adds richness, but sirloin is leaner and more affordable.
• Make it spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the sauce.
• Prep ahead: You can make the beef mixture a day in advance and reheat it; just add cheese right before serving.

Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes are an irresistible mashup of two comfort food classics. Tender, juicy beef combined with sweet peppers, caramelized onions, and gooey cheese creates a sandwich that’s messy, indulgent, and impossible to resist.
