Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (85% lean)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 1 green bell pepper, finely diced
- 1/2 red bell pepper, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
- 6 slices provolone cheese or 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
- 6 hamburger buns or soft rolls
- 2 tablespoons butter (optional, for toasting the buns)
Instructions
- In a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef undisturbed until a deep brown crust forms. Break apart and continue cooking until fully browned.
- Remove the beef from the skillet, leaving the fat. Add butter, then onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Sauté without stirring for 1-2 minutes, then stir and cook until caramelized.
- Return the beef to the skillet. Add ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. In a small cup, mix beef broth and cornstarch; add to skillet and stir until sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and fold in the chopped Provolone cheese, stirring until melted and creamy.
- Toast the brioche buns under a broiler or in a toaster oven. For added flavor, butter the insides of the buns before toasting.
- Spoon the beef mixture generously onto the toasted buns. Serve warm and enjoy!
