Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 slices provolone cheese
  • 4 hoagie rolls
  • Butter for toasting rolls

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and peppers and sauté 4–5 minutes until softened.
  2. Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
  3. Stir in garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
  4. Reduce heat and lay provolone slices on top of the beef mixture. Let melt, then stir to create a creamy, cheesy filling.
  5. Butter and toast hoagie rolls until golden.
  6. Fill each roll generously with the cheesy beef mixture and serve hot.

Notes

5 Secret Tips for the Perfect Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteak:
1. Thin-slice the onions and peppers for authentic texture.
2. Don’t drain all the beef drippings—they add flavor to the sauce.
3. Use provolone, not cheddar, for classic Philly meltiness.
4. Toast the hoagies to prevent sogginess and add crunch.
5. Let the cheese melt on the meat instead of mixing it in cold for the creamiest finish.

Make it spicy by adding banana peppers or crushed red pepper flakes!
