Ingredient Breakdown
To make these amazing Gordon Ramsay Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes (Ava-Style), you’ll need:
- 450g lean ground beef : The star of the show! You can use turkey or chicken if you prefer a lighter option.
- 30g butter : You want that rich, buttery flavor, no substitutes here!
- 1 small yellow onion, diced : For that aromatic base. Trust me, the smell will get everyone to the kitchen!
- 1 small green bell pepper, diced : Adds a slight crunch and that beautiful pop of color.
- 230g brown mushrooms, minced : Really amps up the umami flavor; you could also use baby spinach for greens instead.
- 30g ketchup : A little sweetness and tanginess, but you can use BBQ sauce for a smoky twist.
- 240ml beef broth : A splash of flavor, and it keeps everything moist! You can alternatively use chicken broth.
- 225g provolone cheese, chopped or shredded : The melty goodness that everyone loves! Mozzarella or cheddar can work too.
- 6 brioche hamburger buns : Soft and buttery, perfect for this messy but oh-so-good filling.
Let’s Get Cooking!
Step-by-Step Instructions
Brown the Beef (5 minutes) In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the 450g lean ground beef. As it cooks, use a spatula to break it apart, stirring occasionally until it’s nice and browned. Don’t forget to add a couple pinches of salt and pepper to enhance the flavor! Once it’s browned, remove it from the pan and set it aside.
Sauté the Veggies (7 minutes) In the same skillet, add 30g of butter and let it melt, coating the bottom of the pan. Toss in the diced onion and green bell pepper, sautéing them until the onion turns soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then add in the minced mushrooms and cook until they’re browned and fragrant! The smell will drive everyone wild, I promise!
Create the Sauce (5 minutes) In a bowl, mix together 30g ketchup, 240ml beef broth, and if you want a little extra thickening, throw in a cornstarch slurry (mix a teaspoon of cornstarch with a little cold water). Pour this mixture into the pan with the sautéed veggies, scraping the yummy bits off the bottom. Bring it to a simmer, then reduce the heat and let it gently bubble for about 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Combine the Beef and Cheese (3 minutes) Return the beef back to the skillet, mixing everything together until it’s combined beautifully. Turn off the heat and stir in 225g of provolone cheese until it melts into the mix, creating an ooey, gooey filling that’s absolutely irresistible!
Prepare the Buns (5 minutes) While that cheesy goodness is happening, butter and toast your brioche buns in a separate pan until they’re golden brown. This will add a nice crunch and keep the bread from getting soggy when you pile on the filling.
Serve It Up : Now it’s time for the best part! Fill each toasted brioche bun generously with your cheesy beef mixture, and serve warm. You’ll want to dig in right away!
