Ingredients

Scale

Main 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. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, add a drizzle of olive oil and heat over medium-high heat to prepare for sautéing.
  2. Cook Vegetables: Add the thinly sliced onions and green bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté them for about 3 to 5 minutes until they become tender and fragrant. If you choose to include mushrooms, add them now and cook 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 and break it apart with a spatula. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes until the beef is fully browned and no longer pink.
  4. Season: Stir in the garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper, mixing thoroughly with the beef and vegetables. Allow the mixture to cook together for another 2 minutes to blend the flavors.
  5. Melt the Cheese: Reduce the heat to low. Place a slice of provolone cheese over the beef and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt for about 2 to 3 minutes.
  6. Prepare the Rolls: While the cheese is melting, slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise, being careful not to cut completely through so they hold together when filled.
  7. Assemble the Sandwiches: Once the cheese has melted, spoon the beef, vegetable, and cheese mixture evenly into each hoagie roll.
  8. Serve Hot: For added texture, optionally toast the filled rolls before serving. Serve the cheesesteaks hot for the best flavor experience.

Notes

  • For added authenticity, consider using thinly sliced ribeye steak instead of ground beef.
  • You can substitute provolone with American cheese or mozzarella based on your preference.
  • To make the sandwiches more filling, add sautéed mushrooms or jalapeños for extra flavor.
  • Serving with a side of fries or a simple salad makes for a complete meal.
  • Leftover filling can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated on a skillet.
