Ingredients

  • For the Beef Mixture:
  • 1 lb ground beef. For a lighter option, try lean turkey.
  • 2 medium onions thinly sliced. Shallots can offer a milder taste.
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce. There is a gluten-free soy sauce option also.
  • Seasonings (salt, pepper, etc.) Adjust to your preference.
  • For the Toppings:
  • 1 cup cheese gruyère or provolone can change the flavor experience.
  • 4 buns. Gluten-free buns available. Consider sourdough for a gourmet twist.

Steps

1

In a large skillet over medium heat, add thinly sliced onions and a touch of oil. Sauté for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown and fragrant.

2

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet with the caramelized onions. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking the meat apart as it browns.

3

Once the beef is browned, reduce the heat to medium and stir in soy sauce along with your preferred seasonings. Let the mixture simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4

Preheat your broiler while you prepare the buns. Toast them lightly until golden brown. Portion the beef mixture onto the toasted buns and sprinkle your choice of cheese on top.

5

Carefully plate your Irresistible French Onion Beef Sloppy Joes and serve immediately.
