Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Seasoning
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Vegetables
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
Cheeses
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded provolone cheese
Others
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 hamburger buns
Instructions
- Caramelize the Onions & Peppers: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and green bell peppers, season with salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and caramelized, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Make the Patties: In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef with garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to combine without overworking the meat. Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.
- Cook the Patties: In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.
- Melt the Cheese: During the last minute of cooking the patties, evenly distribute the shredded mozzarella and provolone cheese over each patty. Cover the skillet with a lid to create steam, helping the cheese melt smoothly.
- Toast the Buns: While the cheese melts, lightly toast the hamburger buns either in a toaster or on a dry skillet until they are golden and slightly crisp.
- Assemble the Burgers: Place each cheese-topped patty on a toasted bun bottom, then generously layer with the caramelized onions and bell peppers. Top with the bun tops.
- Serve & Enjoy: Serve the Philly Cheese Steak Burgers hot, accompanied by your favorite sides or condiments for a satisfying meal.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a splash of beef broth or Worcestershire sauce when caramelizing the onions and peppers.
- Make sure not to overwork the beef mixture to keep the patties tender.
- Adjust cook time based on preferred doneness: 5 minutes per side generally yields medium.
- Feel free to add some sautéed mushrooms for a classic Philly addition.
- Use provolone or American cheese as alternatives if preferred.
