Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches Recipes

GROUND BEEF PHILLY CHEESESTEAK GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Add the ground beef to a hot medium to large-sized skillet over medium heat. Let the meat cook for a minute or two, developing a nice sear. Flip the chunk of meat, repeating to sear the other side. Once both sides are seared use a spatula to break the meat up as much as possible. Drain the meat and return to the skillet.
• Add in the salt, pepper, and Worcestershire, stirring occasionally and cooking until fully browned. Remove the meat from the pan, and set it aside.
• Add the 2 tablespoons of butter to the same pan and melt. Add in the pepper and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions have caramelized. Remove the pan from heat, stir in the cooked ground beef until everything's evenly incorporated, and set the mixture aside.
• Butter the outsides of all the slices of bread.
• Flip four slices of buttered bread over onto a clean work space. Add a slice of cheese to the un-buttered side. Top that with a quarter of the meat mixture. Top the meat mixture with another slice of provolone. Finish it off with the un-buttered side of one of the other pieces of bread. Press the top slice of bread down gently to 'seal'. Repeat until all four sandwiches are assembled.
• Heat a clean skillet or griddle to medium heat. Add one sandwich to the pan and cook until browned and the cheese on that side has melted, about 3-4 minutes. Use two spatulas to 'hold' the sandwich, and flip it cooking the other side until browned as well.
• Repeat until all the sandwiches are done.

Steps:

• Make the Filling: In a large saute pan, heat oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Saute bell peppers, onions and mushrooms until they begin to soften, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook about 30-60 more seconds. Season the veggies lightly with salt and pepper and then remove to a medium-sized bowl (you'll use this later for the meat, so make sure it's at least medium-sized).
• Add the ground beef to the same saute pan and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or spatula along the way, until there is no longer any pink showing. While it cooks, season the meat with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Drain any excess grease.
• Stir in Worcestershire sauce and the cooked veggies until everything is combined. (Freezing instructions begin here.) Remove the meat mixture to the bowl the veggies were in earlier. Wipe out the pan until clean.
• Build the Sandwiches: Lay the bread slices on a cutting board and butter one side of each piece of bread. Then lay them butter side down. On the inside of one piece of bread, place a slice of cheese, scoop about 1/3 cup of the beef mixture on top of that, top with another slice of cheese, and place another piece of bread on top (butter side up).
• Grill the Sandwiches: Place the saute pan over medium-low heat. Grill each sandwich for 2-3 minutes per side, until the outside is browned and cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet with a lid over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and break it up with the back of a wooden spoon. Sprinkle the Worcestershire, granulated garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper over the beef. Cook, stirring and breaking the beef up frequently, until it is no longer pink and develops a deep brown crust, about 6 minutes. Add the onion and bell peppers. Add the butter and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions and peppers are softened and browning on the edges, about 5 minutes. There should also be browning forming on the bottom of the skillet. Pour the stock into the skillet, a little at a time, scraping up any browned bits. Bring everything to a simmer, reduce the heat to medium, cover and cook until the sauce reduces and thickens slightly, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Turn off the heat and lay the cheese slices directly onto the beef mixture in a single layer. Cover and let the cheese melt completely, about 1 minute. Stir the cheese to slightly incorporate. Scoop the meat and cheese onto the buns and top with banana peppers. Serve with fries.
