Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) lean ground beef
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 small green bell pepper, diced
- 8 ounces (227 grams) cremini mushrooms, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings, Liquids, and Cheese:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) low-sodium beef broth
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 ounces (170 grams) provolone cheese, shredded
- 4 brioche hamburger buns, toasted
Instructions
- Preheat a robust skillet with olive oil over medium-high temperature, creating an ideal searing environment for the ground beef.
- Introduce the ground beef into the heated skillet, methodically fragmenting the meat with a wooden utensil until achieving a rich, caramelized brown coloration with no residual pink tones.
- Eliminate excess rendered fat from the meat to ensure a concentrated flavor profile.
- Incorporate diced onions, vibrant bell peppers, earthy mushrooms, and minced garlic into the skillet, allowing the vegetables to soften and release their aromatic essences.
- Craft a harmonious sauce by whisking Worcestershire sauce, tangy ketchup, cornstarch, and savory beef broth in a separate vessel until achieving a seamless, velvety consistency.
- Stream the prepared sauce into the skillet, thoroughly integrating it with the meat and vegetable mixture.
- Allow the concoction to gently simmer, triggering a gradual thickening process that concentrates the flavors.
- Delicately season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to elevate the overall taste experience.
- Reduce the skillet’s temperature, then fold in shredded provolone cheese, creating a luxurious, melted coating that binds the ingredients.
- Carefully nestle the robust mixture atop toasted brioche buns, ensuring an even distribution for maximum gustatory pleasure.
Notes
- Choose lean ground beef to reduce excess fat and create a cleaner, less greasy dish.
- Customize vegetables by adding or swapping ingredients like zucchini or spinach for extra nutrition.
