Ground Philly Cheesesteak Grilled Cheese
Description
This recipe begins by carefully browning ground beef while keeping the meat texture coarse, similar in size to peas rather than finely crumbled. The beef is seasoned with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce for savory depth. Separately, chopped onions and green bell peppers are caramelized in butter until soft and lightly browned. For additional flavor and texture, mushrooms can be added at this stage. The cooked vegetables and beef are combined to blend flavors.
To assemble, slices of white bread are buttered on one side and layered with cheese slices. Half of the slices receive the beef and vegetable mixture before being closed with another cheese-topped bread slice, butter side out. Sandwiches are cooked on a griddle or cast iron pan over medium-high heat, pressing lightly and cooking a few minutes per side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
The resulting sandwich is rich and hearty, combining the tender umami meat and vegetables with gooey cheese inside crisp buttery bread. The presence of green peppers and optionally mushrooms adds sweetness and an additional savory element. This grilled cheese variation offers a simplified yet flavorful take on the classic Philly cheesesteak experience.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 onion , chopped
- 1/2 green bell pepper , chopped
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 8 lices American cheese or Provolone Cheese
- 8 lices white bread
- 4 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Start by browning the beef in the skillet. Try to brown without breaking up the meat too much. Get a nice brown sear on the beef, then break apart as little as possible. You want the meat to resemble a pea in size [you want to avoid taco meat consistency]. Add the salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Stir gently, then remove from pan.
- Add 2 tbsp. of butter in the pan and add the chopped onions and green bell pepper, cooking until browned and caramelized. Add salt and pepper to taste. If you like mushrooms in your cheesesteaks, go ahead and add some chopped mushrooms here too. Once browned, add the meat back in and combine together.
- Spread the butter on one side of each of the 8 slices of bread.
- Butter side down on the cutting board.
- Add a slice of provolone to each of the slices.
- Top four slices with the meat mixture and close the sandwiches pressing down lightly.
- In a cast iron pan or griddle on medium high add the sandwiches and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side.
