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
- Swiftly slice 1 medium sweet yellow onion and 1 bell pepper into thin, uniform strips for even cooking and perfect sandwich texture.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Brush remaining 1 tablespoon (15 ml) butter inside 4 hoagie rolls, then generously fill each with the cheesy beef and vegetable mixture.
- 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.
