Gordon Ramsay Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes

This recipe takes the best elements of a Philly cheesesteak—sautéed onions, bell peppers, and melty cheese—and combines them with juicy seasoned ground beef in a sloppy joe-style sandwich. It’s a one-pan meal that’s easy to make, loaded with bold flavors, and perfect for weeknight dinners or game-day gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Meat Mixture:

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
  • 1 small onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 small green bell pepper (diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • ½ tsp black pepper

For the Cheese Sauce:

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup milk (warm)
  • 1 cup shredded provolone or white American cheese

For Serving:

  • 4 brioche or hamburger buns (toasted)
  • 1 tbsp butter (for toasting buns)
  • Extra provolone or cheddar cheese slices (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the ground beef – Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned (about 5 minutes). Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Sauté the vegetables – Add chopped onions, bell peppers, and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  3. Season the mixture – Stir in Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until the flavors meld together.
  4. Make the cheese sauce – In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in warm milk until smooth. Add shredded cheese and stir until melted and creamy.
  5. Toast the buns – Spread butter on the inside of each bun and toast in a hot pan for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Assemble the sloppy joes – Spoon the beef mixture onto toasted buns and drizzle with the cheese sauce. Add extra cheese slices if desired.
  7. Serve immediately – Enjoy while hot, with fries, chips, or a side salad.
