Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteaks Sandwiches
Description
This recipe starts with slicing onions, dicing bell peppers, and slicing mushrooms. Ground beef is browned in a skillet to develop a crust, then removed to drain fat. Vegetables are sautéed until softened, followed by returning the beef to the pan. Ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper season the mixture. A slurry of cornstarch and cold beef broth is added to thicken the filling into a saucy consistency.
The mixture is spread onto hoagie rolls, topped with provolone cheese slices that melt from the residual heat, creating a classic Philly-style cheesesteak flavor in sandwich form but using ground meat. The sandwiches combine umami from mushrooms, sweetness from onions, and savory-meaty notes from beef, balanced by the creamy cheese.
Ingredients
- 1 onion
- 1 green bell pepper
- 6 oz brown mushrooms
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tablespoon neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ cup beef broth cold
- 12 lices provolone cheese

- Place a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil.
- Break it apart slightly and then let it cook untouched for 2-3 minutes until a nice crust forms on the meat. Stir it about and break it up and cook for a further 3 minutes until it is deep brown in places.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the beef from the skillet and leave the fat behind.
- Add the prepared veg to the skillet and cook for 3 minutes until everything has softened.
- Add the beef back into the pan.
- Add the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper to the pan and turn down the heat.
- Use a small measuring cup to mix the cold beef broth with the cornstarch, then add this slurry to the skillet.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes until everything is thick and coated.
- Add to the rolls and then top with the provolone cheese.
