How to Make Gordon Ramsay Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes

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

Directions:

Brown the Ground Beef:
Begin by heating a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the lean ground beef to the hot pan. Use a spatula to break it up as it cooks. Make sure all the beef is browned evenly. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once browned, remove the beef from the pan and set it aside in a bowl. This step is crucial as it locks in the flavor and ensures the beef gets nicely caramelized.
Sauté the Vegetables:
In the same pan, lower the heat slightly and add the butter. Once the butter melts, add the diced yellow onion, green bell pepper, and minced mushrooms. Stir them well to coat with the butter. Sauté the mixture until the vegetables are soft and golden brown, which should take another 5-7 minutes. This step brings out the sweetness of the onions and the earthiness of the mushrooms.
Make the Sauce:
While the veggies are cooking, prepare the sauce. In a medium bowl, mix together the beef broth, ketchup, a pinch of salt, and pepper. If desired, you can add a bit of cornstarch to thicken it up. Once the vegetables are ready, pour this sauce into the pan. Stir everything together and allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes. This will help the flavors meld together, creating a rich sauce that complements the beef and veggies.
Combine and Melt the Cheese:
Once the sauce has thickened, return the browned beef to the pan. Stir everything well to ensure the beef is coated with the sauce. Turn off the heat and add the chopped or shredded provolone cheese. Stir the mixture until the cheese is melted and gooey. This cheesy component is what makes this dish so comforting and satisfying.
Prepare the Buns:
In a separate pan or on a griddle, take the brioche buns and butter the insides. Toast them until they are golden brown and crispy. This not only adds flavor but also prevents the buns from becoming soggy when filled with the beef mixture.
Assemble the Sloppy Joes:
Once your buns are toasted, it’s time to fill them! Scoop a generous amount of the cheesy beef mixture onto the bottom half of each bun. Place the top half on top and serve warm. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures.

How to Serve Gordon Ramsay Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes

These Sloppy Joes are best served warm right after assembling. Place them on a plate alongside some crispy fries or a simple green salad for a wholesome meal. You can also serve them with a slice of dill pickle on the side for an extra crunch and tang. For those who love a little heat, consider providing hot sauce or sliced jalapeños as a topping option.

How to Store Gordon Ramsay Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes

If you happen to have leftovers (though they might be too tasty to last!), you can store the filling in an airtight container in the fridge. It should keep well for about 3-4 days. To reheat, simply warm it on the stove over low heat or microwave it until hot. For the buns, it’s best to store them separately to maintain their texture. You can also freeze the beef mixture for up to 2 months. Just make sure to defrost it in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.

Tips to Make Gordon Ramsay Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes

Use Quality Beef: Lean ground beef is ideal because it doesn’t release excess fat, but feel free to use a bit of ground chuck for added flavor.
Don’t Skip the Sautéing: Taking the time to sauté the vegetables properly enhances the depth of flavor in your Sloppy Joes.
Experiment with Cheese: While provolone is traditional, feel free to mix in other cheeses like mozzarella or Swiss for a different taste profile.
Add More Veggies: If you want to boost the nutrition, consider adding other vegetables like diced carrots or zucchini when sautéing.
Adjust the Heat: If you like it spicy, add a dash of cayenne pepper or toss in some chopped jalapeños with the vegetables.

Variation

For a healthier twist, you can substitute lean ground turkey or chicken for the beef. You can also make this recipe vegetarian by using plant-based ground meat or mushrooms alone as the base. Increase the amount of vegetables to keep the texture hearty and satisfying.
