Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteaks Recipe

Introduction

Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteaks are a simple, satisfying twist on the classic sandwich, perfect for any day of the week. Juicy ground beef combined with sautéed vegetables and melted cheese makes for a comforting and flavorful meal.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste
• 4 slices provolone cheese (or any cheese of your preference)
• 4 hoagie rolls
• Olive oil, for cooking

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
2. Step 2: Add the sliced onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until tender. If using mushrooms, add them and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
3. Step 3: Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet, add the ground beef, and break it apart. Cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Step 4: Stir in garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes.
5. Step 5: Reduce the heat to low. Place a slice of cheese over the beef mixture and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the cheese to melt for 2-3 minutes.
6. Step 6: While the cheese melts, slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise without cutting all the way through.
7. Step 7: Spoon the beef and vegetable mixture into each roll.
8. Step 8: Serve the sandwiches hot. Optionally, toast the rolls beforehand for added texture.

Tips & Variations

• Try using different cheeses like mozzarella or American for a variation in flavor and meltiness.
• You can add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to spice things up.
• For a lighter version, substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken.
• Toasting the rolls with a little butter adds a nice crunch and richness.

Storage

Store leftover sandwiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven to keep the bread from becoming soggy. Avoid microwaving if possible to maintain texture.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Meat and Cheese

• 1 pound ground beef
• 4 slices provolone cheese (or any cheese of your preference)

Vegetables

• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)

Seasonings and Condiments

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste

Breads and Oil

• 4 hoagie rolls
• Olive oil, for cooking

Instructions

1. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, add a drizzle of olive oil and heat over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering.
2. Cook Vegetables: Add the sliced onions and green bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized. If using mushrooms, add them now and cook for an additional 3 minutes until softened.
3. Brown the Beef: Push the cooked vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add the ground beef to the empty side. Break the beef apart with a spatula and cook until it is fully browned with no pink remaining, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Season: Stir the vegetables and beef together. Add garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly and cook together for another 2 minutes to blend flavors.
5. Melt the Cheese: Reduce the heat to low. Place slices of provolone cheese evenly over the beef and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the cheese to melt, approximately 2-3 minutes.
6. Prepare the Rolls: While the cheese is melting, slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise, being careful not to cut completely through to keep a hinge.
7. Assemble the Sandwiches: Once the cheese has melted, spoon the cheesy beef and vegetable mixture generously into each hoagie roll, distributing evenly.
8. Serve Hot: Optionally, toast the assembled sandwiches briefly in a skillet or oven to add crunch and warmth. Serve immediately for the best taste.

Notes

• For a more authentic Philly cheesesteak flavor, consider using thinly sliced ribeye instead of ground beef.
• Adding mushrooms is optional, but they add lovely earthiness and umami.
• Worcestershire sauce significantly enhances the depth of flavor, so don’t skip it.
• Feel free to use other cheeses like American or mozzarella if you prefer.
• Toasting the buns after assembling adds a nice texture contrast but is optional.
• Leftover mixture can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
