Ingredients
- 8 ounces brown mushrooms finely minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 8 ounces provolone cheese slices chopped (use 6 ounces for a milder cheese flavor)
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 small green bell pepper diced
- 1 small yellow onion diced
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 6 brioche hamburger buns
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
Instructions
- Place a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef, allowing it to develop a rich, deep-brown crust before breaking it apart.
- Continue browning until about half of the beef achieves a robust sear.
- Remove the beef, leaving any rendered fat in the skillet, then melt the butter and incorporate the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced mushrooms.
- Allow the vegetables to brown undisturbed for 1–2 minutes, stir, and repeat for an additional 1–2 minutes until lightly caramelized.
- Return the browned beef to the skillet. In a separate small cup, whisk the cornstarch into the beef broth until smooth, then pour this mixture into the pan along with the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.
- Stir thoroughly and cook until most of the liquid reduces, leaving the mixture slightly saucy, about 3–5 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and fold in the chopped provolone, beginning with half and adding gradually until the desired cheesiness is achieved.
- Serve immediately on toasted brioche buns.
