Ingredients
  

Meat & Veggies
  • 1 lb ground beef 80/20 preferred
  • 1 large green bell pepper sliced into thin strips
  • 1 medium yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms sliced
Sauce & Assembly
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 6 slices provolone cheese or mozzarella
  • 4 brioche buns toasted

Equipment

  • Large Cast Iron Skillet
  • Spatula
  • Cutting board
  • Knife

Method
 

  1. Preheat skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the ground beef, breaking it apart until cooked through. Drain excess grease and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, melt butter. Add onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Sauté for 7-9 minutes until tender.
  3. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir for 1 minute to cook the raw flour taste.
  4. Slowly stir in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and spices. Simmer gently.
  5. Return the beef to the skillet. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce is thick and coats the meat.
  6. Divide the mixture into 4 portions in the pan. Top each with cheese and cover until melted.
  7. Scoop onto toasted brioche buns and serve immediately.

Notes

Store leftover meat mixture in the fridge for up to 4 days. Great for meal prep! Reheat and assemble on fresh buns when ready to eat.
