Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup provolone cheese, shredded
- 4 hoagie rolls or hamburger buns
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is nicely browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Once browned, drain any excess fat to keep the mixture from being greasy.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Add the diced yellow onion and green bell pepper to the skillet with the beef. Cook together until the vegetables have softened and become fragrant, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Season the Mixture: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce along with salt and pepper to taste. This adds depth of flavor and enhances the savory profile of the dish.
- Add the Cheese: Mix in the shredded provolone cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese melts and fully blends into the beef and vegetable mixture, creating a creamy texture.
- Assemble and Serve: Spoon the cheesy beef mixture generously onto the hoagie rolls or hamburger buns. Serve immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes when sautéing the vegetables.
- Using hoagie rolls gives a more authentic Philly cheesesteak experience, but hamburger buns work well too.
- To keep the buns from becoming soggy, lightly toast them before assembling the sandwiches.
- Ground beef with an 80/20 fat ratio provides good flavor and moisture, but leaner beef can be substituted for a lower fat option.
- This recipe can be doubled easily to serve more people.
