Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Vegetables
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
Cheese and Breads
- 1 cup provolone cheese, shredded
- 4 hoagie rolls or hamburger buns
Seasonings
- 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 completely browned. Stir and break up the meat as it cooks. Drain any excess fat to avoid greasiness.
- Sauté vegetables: Add the diced yellow onion and green bell pepper to the skillet with the browned beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables become softened and aromatic, about 5-7 minutes.
- Season the mixture: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to combine all the flavors evenly throughout the beef and vegetable mixture.
- Add cheese: Sprinkle the shredded provolone cheese evenly over the hot mixture. Stir gently until the cheese melts and blends into the beef mixture, creating a creamy, cheesy texture.
- Serve: Spoon the cheesy beef mixture generously onto hoagie rolls or hamburger buns. Serve immediately while hot for the best flavor and experience.
Notes
- Use 80/20 ground beef for optimal flavor and moisture balance.
- For an extra kick, add a dash of hot sauce or chopped jalapeños when sautéing the vegetables.
- You can substitute cheddar or American cheese if provolone is unavailable, but provolone offers the authentic Philly cheesesteak taste.
- Toast the hoagie rolls lightly before adding the filling for added texture and flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated on the stovetop or microwave.
