Description

Ground beef Philly cheese steak delivers pure comfort straight from Philadelphia’s famous sandwich tradition. Melted cheese, caramelized onions, and seasoned beef create a hearty meal that brings classic street flavor right to your dinner table.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 lb lean ground beef (80/20)
  • 8 oz provolone cheese
  • 4 hoagie rolls

Supporting Ingredients:

  • 1 medium sweet yellow onion
  • 1 bell pepper

Seasoning Ingredients:

  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Swiftly slice 1 medium sweet yellow onion and 1 bell pepper into thin, uniform strips for even cooking and perfect sandwich texture.
  2. Melt 1 tablespoon (15 ml) butter in a large skillet over medium heat (350°F/175°C). Sauté onions and peppers for 5-7 minutes until they transform into soft, golden-brown delights.
  3. Push vegetables to one side of the skillet, creating space for 1 pound (454 g) of lean ground beef. Break meat into small crumbles while cooking 8-10 minutes until completely browned and no pink remains.
  4. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon (5 g) garlic powder and ½ teaspoon (2.5 g) black pepper across the beef mixture, stirring thoroughly to distribute seasonings evenly throughout.
  5. Arrange 8 ounces (226 g) provolone cheese slices directly atop the hot beef mixture, covering the pan for 2-3 minutes to create a melty, gooey blanket.
  6. Brush remaining 1 tablespoon (15 ml) butter inside 4 hoagie rolls, then generously fill each with the cheesy beef and vegetable mixture.
  7. Optional: Return assembled sandwiches to the skillet, toasting briefly for a crisp exterior that adds delightful crunch to your Philly-style creation.

Notes

  • Cut vegetables uniformly for even cooking and a professional look.
  • Don’t rush the caramelization process for onions and peppers, as slow cooking develops deeper flavor.
  • Choose a good quality ground beef with some fat content to keep the meat juicy and flavorful.
  • For a low-carb version, serve the beef mixture over a salad or in lettuce wraps instead of hoagie rolls.
