Description
A hearty fusion of a classic Philly cheesesteak and a juicy burger, topped with caramelized onions, peppers, mushrooms, and melted provolone cheese on a toasted bun.
Ingredients
1 lb (450 g) ground beef (80/20)
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 onion, sliced
1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
4 slices provolone cheese
4 burger buns, toasted
2 tbsp mayonnaise (optional)
1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms for 8–10 minutes until soft and caramelized. Remove and set aside.
- Divide ground beef into 4 equal portions and form into patties. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 4–5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness.
- During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of provolone cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to melt.
- Spread mayonnaise on toasted buns if using. Place the cheesy patty on the bottom bun, top with sautéed vegetables, and close with the top bun.
- Serve immediately while hot and melty.
Notes
For a different flavor, substitute provolone with mozzarella or white American cheese.
Add sliced jalapeños or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
Press a small indentation in the center of each patty before cooking to prevent shrinking.
Store patties and vegetables separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Uncooked patties can be frozen for up to 2 months with parchment paper between them.
