Ingredients
Scale
Sauce
- 1 cup chicken broth (from a 32-oz carton)
- 2 tablespoons steak sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 8 oz mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1 cup white onion, coarsely chopped (from 1 small onion)
- 1 teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
To Serve
- 8 regular-size burger buns, toasted if desired
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (2 oz)
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine chicken broth, steak sauce, and Dijon mustard. Whisk well and set aside for later use.
- Cook the Beef: Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat and add ground beef. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently, until the beef is fully browned. Drain any excess fat and transfer the beef to a separate dish.
- Cook the Vegetables: In the same skillet with any remaining drippings, add butter. Once melted, stir in sliced mushrooms, chopped onion, and Montreal steak seasoning. Sauté the mixture for 7 to 8 minutes until onions turn translucent and mushrooms have browned.
- Make the Roux: Sprinkle flour evenly over the cooked vegetables. Continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring frequently, allowing the flour to brown and develop a nutty aroma, which will help thicken the sauce.
- Combine Beef and Broth: Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet and stir in the previously prepared sauce mixture. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and vegetables evenly.
- Assemble the Sloppy Joes: Spoon approximately 1/3 cup of the beef mixture onto the bottom half of each toasted burger bun. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of shredded sharp Cheddar cheese on top of the beef mixture, then cover with the top bun to create the sandwich.
Notes
- To enhance the flavor, use high-quality steak sauce and freshly ground Montreal steak seasoning.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the beef mixture.
- These sloppy joes are best served immediately but can be kept warm covered on low heat for up to 30 minutes.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- Toast the buns lightly for added texture and flavor if desired.
