Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 1 green bell pepper, finely diced
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon beef bouillon powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
- 6 slices provolone cheese
- 6 hamburger buns
Instructions
- Brown Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5 minutes. Drain excess grease if needed to keep the mixture from becoming too oily.
- Sauté Vegetables: Stir in the finely diced onion, green bell pepper, mushrooms, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are softened and fragrant, approximately 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add Seasonings: Mix in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, beef bouillon powder, salt, and black pepper, stirring well to combine all the flavors evenly.
- Simmer Sauce: Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. This allows the flavors to meld and the sauce to develop depth.
- Thicken Sauce: Stir in the cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with water) and continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens to a sloppy joe consistency.
- Melt Cheese: Reduce the heat to low and carefully lay the provolone cheese slices over the beef mixture. Cover the skillet until the cheese has melted completely, then stir gently to incorporate the melted cheese throughout.
- Serve: Spoon the hearty cheesesteak mixture onto hamburger buns and serve warm. For best results, toast the buns before filling for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- For extra flavor and texture, toast the buns before spooning in the beef mixture.
- To make a lighter version, substitute ground chicken or turkey instead of beef.
- Add red pepper flakes if you prefer a spicy kick.
