  • Brown Sugar

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Thinly slice your beef if not pre-sliced. Finely dice the yellow onion and green bell pepper. Mince the garlic. Have all your sauce ingredients measured and ready to go.
  2. Caramelize the Onions: In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the diced yellow onions and cook for about 10-15 minutes until caramelized. Remove and set aside.
  3. Sauté the Bell Pepper and Garlic: Add another half tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Increase heat to medium, add the diced green bell pepper and cook for 3-5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute. Remove and set aside.
  4. Cook the Beef: Increase heat to medium-high. Add a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the thinly sliced beef in batches, cooking for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Season with salt and pepper. Remove and set aside.
  5. Build the Sloppy Joe Sauce: Add tomato paste to the skillet and cook for 1 minute. Deglaze with beef broth, scraping up browned bits. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and smoked paprika. Simmer.
  6. Combine and Simmer: Return onions, bell pepper, garlic, and beef to the skillet. Stir until combined. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  7. Prepare the Buns: Lightly butter the cut sides of hoagie rolls or brioche buns. Toast until golden brown.
  8. Assemble Your Sloppy Joes: Spoon the mixture onto the bottom half of each bun. Top with provolone cheese, allowing it to melt. Place the top half of the bun on and serve immediately.

Nutrition

Keywords: Ensure the beef is thinly sliced for the best texture. Don't overcrowd the pan while cooking the beef to achieve a good sear. Toasting the buns prevents sogginess and adds texture.
