Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (30g)
- 1 small white onion, chopped (1/2 cup, 120g)
- 1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped (1 cup, 150g)
- 1 pound lean beef (450g)
- 1/2 cup beef broth (120ml)
- 1/4 cup tomato sauce (60ml)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (30ml)
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) ground black pepper
- 12 slices cheddar cheese, divided
- 6 brioche buns, store-bought or homemade
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and green bell peppers. Cook them for 6 to 7 minutes, frequently stirring, until they become tender but not browned.
- Brown the beef: Incorporate the lean beef into the pan. Break it apart with a wooden spoon while cooking. Continue until it turns brown, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Create the sauce: Mix in the beef broth, tomato sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 4 to 5 minutes until the mixture thickens. Slice half of the cheddar cheese into small pieces and mix them in just before serving.
- Put together the sloppy joes: Toast the brioche buns using a toaster oven or toaster. Place the remaining cheddar cheese slices on the bottom half of each bun. Spoon generous portions of the beef mixture on top of the cheese, then cover with the top bun. Serve while warm. Store any extra beef mixture in the refrigerator, where it will stay fresh for 4 to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave or in a skillet with a splash of water or broth. You can also freeze the mixture for up to 3 months. Defrost before reheating, using a microwave for quick thawing if necessary. Enjoyed this dish? Consider giving it a rating!
