Ingredients
Scale
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
Bread and Cooking Oil
- 4 hoagie rolls
- Olive oil, for cooking
Instructions
- Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, add a drizzle of olive oil and heat over medium-high to prepare for sautéing.
- Cook Vegetables: Add the sliced onions and bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for 3-5 minutes until tender. If using mushrooms, add them now and cook an additional 3 minutes until softened.
- Brown the Beef: Push the cooked vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add the ground beef to the empty side, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until no longer pink.
- Season: Stir in garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything evenly and cook together for about 2 minutes to blend flavors.
- Melt the Cheese: Reduce heat to low. Place a slice of provolone cheese over the beef mixture and cover the skillet with a lid. Let the cheese melt for 2-3 minutes.
- Prepare the Rolls: Slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise without cutting all the way through, making them ready for filling.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Once the cheese has melted, spoon the beef and vegetable mixture into each hoagie roll evenly.
- Serve Hot: Optionally toast the filled rolls for added texture before serving to enhance the flavor and crunch.
Notes
- Use fresh vegetables for the best flavor and texture.
- Maintain medium-high heat when cooking to achieve proper browning without steaming.
- Experiment with different cheeses like cheddar, mozzarella, or blue cheese for variety.
- Lightly toast hoagie rolls for added crunch and warmth.
- Pair your cheesesteak with pickles or banana peppers for a tangy contrast.
