A quick and easy recipe for a hearty and satisfying Philly cheesesteak made with ground beef, caramelized onions, peppers, and gooey melted cheese in a toasted hoagie roll.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 slices provolone cheese
  • 4 hoagie rolls
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Butter, optional

Instructions

  1. Slice the bell peppers and onion thinly and set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and peppers, cooking for 4-5 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add the ground beef and break it apart with a spatula. Cook for 6-8 minutes until browned and fully cooked.
  4. Sprinkle in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine and let the flavors meld for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Preheat your oven or toaster oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise and spread a thin layer of butter inside each. Toast them for 2-3 minutes until slightly crispy.
  6. Divide the beef mixture evenly among the toasted rolls. Top with the sautéed peppers and onions, then lay slices of provolone cheese on top.
  7. Place the assembled sandwiches back into the oven for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is fully melted.
  8. Remove from the oven and serve warm.

Notes

[‘Don’t overcrowd the skillet to ensure even cooking and a golden-brown crust on the beef.’, ‘Take your time caramelizing the onions and peppers for maximum flavor.’, ‘Use fresh rolls that are soft but sturdy enough to hold the filling.’, ‘If your oven isn’t available, you can melt the cheese in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.’, ‘Prepare the beef and veggies ahead of time for easy assembly later.’]
