Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Vegetables
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
Dairy
- 1 cup provolone cheese, shredded
Breads
- 4 hoagie rolls or hamburger buns
Seasonings and Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the ground beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until it is fully browned, breaking it up with your spoon or spatula as it cooks. Once browned, drain any excess fat from the skillet to reduce greasiness.
- Sauté the vegetables: Add the diced yellow onion and green bell pepper to the skillet with the cooked beef. Sauté the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and become fragrant, about 5–7 minutes.
- Add seasoning: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors throughout the beef and vegetable mixture.
- Melt the cheese: Sprinkle the shredded provolone cheese over the beef mixture. Stir the mixture continuously until the cheese is melted and fully incorporated, creating a creamy, cheesy texture.
- Assemble and serve: Spoon the cheesy beef mixture onto the hoagie rolls or hamburger buns. Serve immediately while hot for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute provolone cheese with mozzarella or American cheese for a different flavor profile.
- For extra heat, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce while cooking the vegetables.
- Using hoagie rolls will give a more authentic Philly cheesesteak experience, but hamburger buns work well too.
- To reduce fat, use lean ground beef and drain well after cooking.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated on the stovetop or microwave.
