Tips & Tricks
- Mince the mushrooms finely so they blend smoothly into the filling and add extra savory depth.
- Use medium-high heat to brown the beef well for better flavor.
- Toasting the buns helps keep them from getting soggy.
- For a slightly sharper cheese flavor, combine provolone with a little mozzarella or white cheddar.
- Add a splash more broth if the filling becomes too thick.
- For a little heat, add a pinch of crushed red pepper or a few diced mild chili peppers.

FAQ
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes. You can prepare the beef filling a day in advance and reheat it gently before serving.
What makes this different from classic sloppy joes?
These Gordon Ramsay Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes have a cheesesteak-inspired filling with peppers, onions, mushrooms, and provolone instead of the usual sweet tomato-based sloppy joe sauce.
Can I use a different cheese?
Yes. Provolone is classic for the cheesesteak flavor, but mozzarella or Monterey Jack also work well.
Can I freeze the filling?
Yes. Let the filling cool completely, then freeze it in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
What buns work best?
Brioche buns are soft, rich, and slightly sweet, which makes them a great match for the savory filling.
Can I make it less messy?
Yes. Let the filling simmer until thick and serve with toasted buns to help hold everything together.
Storage
Store leftover filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth if needed. You can also freeze the cooled filling for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating. Toast the buns fresh for the best texture.
