Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef 80/20 lean-to-fat ratio recommended
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion thinly sliced
  • 1 large green bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water
  • 4 hoagie rolls toasted
  • 8 slices provolone cheese

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Spatula
  • Baking sheet
  • Broiler

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the sliced onions and green bell peppers to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  3. Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and ketchup. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Stir in the cornstarch mixture to thicken the sauce. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
  5. Preheat your broiler. Place the toasted hoagie rolls on a baking sheet. Spoon the beef mixture onto the rolls and top each with 2 slices of provolone cheese.
  6. Broil the sandwiches for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve immediately.

Notes

Chef's Tips:
• For a leaner option, substitute ground turkey for the ground beef.
• Avoid overcooking the beef to keep it juicy.
• Serve with a side of coleslaw or pickles for a complete meal.
Food Safety:
• Ensure ground beef reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) to ensure it's fully cooked.
• Store leftovers in the refrigerator within 2 hours of cooking.
