Ingredients
  

Beef and Veggies
  • 1 lb ground beef lean 90/10
  • 1 large yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 1 large green bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.5 tsp salt to taste
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper cracked
Sauce and Assembly
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce for depth
  • 0.25 cup beef broth for moisture
  • 8 slices Provolone deli style
  • 4 large hoagie rolls split
  • 1 tbsp butter softened

Equipment

  • Large Cast Iron Skillet
  • Wooden spoon
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

Cook and Assemble
  1. Place the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon until browned and no longer pink.
  2. Add the sliced onions and green peppers to the skillet, sautéing for 5–7 minutes until the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth, simmering for 2 minutes until the liquid reduces into a light sauce.
  4. Divide the beef mixture into four equal mounds directly in the skillet and top each portion with two slices of Provolone cheese.
  5. Cover the pan with a lid for 60 seconds to allow the cheese to melt completely into the beef.
  6. Butter the hoagie rolls and toast them in a separate pan or under a broiler until golden brown.
  7. Use a spatula to lift the cheesy beef mounds into the toasted rolls and serve immediately.

Notes

For the best texture, ensure the beef broth reduces slightly to create a glossy coating rather than a soup; leftovers keep well in the fridge for 2 days if stored separately from the bread.
