HELPFUL TIPS TO MAKE THE BEST PHILLY CHEESESTEAK SLOPPY JOES
This Sloppy Joe recipe is quick and easy, but here are some helpful tips for success:
Don’t skipping toasting the buns! A soggy bun can ruin your sandwich. Toasting the buns is especially important in this recipe because the filling is extra juicy. Toasting the buns provides a nice buttery barrier which helps prevent the juices from soaking into the bun and making it a soggy mess.
Use a large skillet: There is a lot going on in the skillet with the beef, onions and bell peppers. If you don’t have large cast iron skillet, cook the beef first, remove it from the pan, then sauté the bell peppers and onions. You want plenty of room to move that filling around.
Make sure that your pan is nice and hot: Get the oil hot and sizzling before adding the ground beef, onions and peppers so the juices evaporate as they are released. This ensures the filling is extra flavorful and not diluted and watery. The best pan for this is cast iron. It heats up quickly and retains the heat, continuously evaporating any moisture.
Test the onions for doneness: Make sure the onions are soft before you add the garlic because they won’t soften much after sautéing – you don’t want crunchy onions!
Fully dissolve the cornstarch: Make sure the cornstarch is completely dissolved in the beef broth because once the mixture is added to the hot skillet any lumps are here to stay.
Watch the sauce consistency: The Sloppy Joe filling can take more or less time to reduce depending on your stove/pot, etc. The key is to watch it closely so it doesn’t reduce too much – we want slightly saucy Sloppy Joes and not dry Sloppy Joes. If your mixture is too “wet” after 5 minutes, then continue to simmer until it reaches desired consistency.
