Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 pound (1 lb) lean ground beef
Vegetables:
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 small green bell pepper, diced
- 8 ounces (8 oz) brown mushrooms, minced
Dairy and Cheese:
- 8 ounces (8 oz) Provolone cheese slices, chopped
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 2 tablespoons (2 tbsp) butter
- 2 tablespoons (2 tbsp) ketchup
- 1 tablespoon (1 tbsp) Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon (1/2 tsp) Kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon (1/2 tsp) freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (1 tbsp) cornstarch
- 1 cup beef broth
Bread:
- 6 brioche hamburger buns
Instructions
- Preheat a robust cast-iron skillet to medium-high temperature, creating an ideal surface for developing deep flavor profiles in the ground beef.
- Introduce the beef to the hot skillet, allowing a rich mahogany crust to form underneath. Strategically fragment the meat and continue cooking until approximately half exhibits a tantalizing caramelized exterior.
- Extract the beautifully seared beef from the skillet, preserving the rendered fat for subsequent vegetable sautéing.
- Melt butter into the same skillet, then gracefully introduce diced onions, vibrant bell peppers, and finely chopped mushrooms. Allow these aromatics to develop golden edges through undisturbed browning.
- Reintegrate the perfectly seasoned beef into the vegetable medley, creating a harmonious flavor foundation.
- Craft a smooth slurry by whisking beef broth with cornstarch until completely integrated. Pour this mixture into the skillet alongside ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and complementary seasonings.
- Simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the sauce transforms into a luxurious, clingy consistency that enthusiastically embraces the meat and vegetables.
- Remove the skillet from heat and fold in chopped Provolone, allowing the cheese to melt into a silky, indulgent coating.
- Lovingly nestle the steaming, cheesy mixture atop toasted brioche buns, creating an irresistible culinary masterpiece ready to be devoured.
Notes
- Let the beef develop a deep crust by resisting the urge to stir constantly, creating more intense flavor profiles with caramelized edges.
- Swap ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for healthier or vegetarian alternatives without sacrificing the signature rich taste.
- Pat meat dry before cooking to ensure maximum browning and prevent steaming, which helps achieve that delectable crispy exterior.
- Choose low-sodium beef broth and Worcestershire sauce to control salt content, making the dish more diet-friendly for those monitoring sodium intake.
