1 small green bell pepper, diced
04 -
8 ounces brown mushrooms, minced

05 -
2 tablespoons ketchup
06 -
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
07 -
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
08 -
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
09 -
1 tablespoon cornstarch
10 -

2 tablespoons butter
12 -
8 ounces Provolone cheese slices, chopped
→ Bread
13 -
6 brioche hamburger buns
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until a deep brown crust forms on the bottom before breaking it apart. Continue cooking until about 50% of the beef has developed a rich crust for maximum flavor.
02 -
Remove the beef from the skillet, leaving behind any rendered fat. Add the butter to the skillet along with the diced onions, bell peppers, and minced mushrooms. Allow to brown for 1-2 minutes without stirring, then stir and brown for another 1-2 minutes to develop caramelization.
03 -
Return the beef to the skillet with the vegetables. In a small cup, whisk together the beef broth and cornstarch until smooth. Pour this mixture into the skillet along with the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper, stirring to combine.
04 -
Cook the mixture until it thickens and becomes less liquidy, about 3-5 minutes. The mixture should be hearty and thick rather than soupy.
05 -
Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped Provolone cheese until completely melted and incorporated throughout the beef and vegetable mixture.
06 -
Pile the Philly Cheese Steak mixture onto toasted brioche buns and serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra flavor, toast the brioche buns with a light brush of butter before adding the filling.
02 -
The mixture can be made ahead and reheated gently when ready to serve.
