Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 8 oz button mushrooms, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbsp A1 steak sauce
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 cup beef broth

• 6 brioche hamburger buns
• Optional:
• Mayonnaise
• Pickled banana peppers

Instructions

• 1. Heat large skillet over medium-high. Add ground beef, cook undisturbed 2 minutes until crust forms. Break apart, cook until browned and 50% has crust. Remove beef, leave fat.
• 2. Melt butter in skillet. Add onion, bell pepper, mushrooms. Cook undisturbed 2 minutes, stir, cook 2 more minutes until browned. Add garlic, cook 30 seconds.
• 3. Return beef to skillet. Whisk cornstarch into beef broth. Add broth mixture, ketchup, Worcestershire, A1, salt, pepper. Simmer 4-5 minutes until thickened (coats spoon).
• 4. Remove from heat. Stir in provolone until melted and creamy. Toast buns. Spread mayo if desired.
• 5. Spoon generous portions onto buns. Top with pickled peppers. Serve immediately.

Notes

• Let beef crust before breaking apart major flavor boost.
• Cook veggies undisturbed for caramelization, not steaming.
• Provolone essential; mozzarella too mild, cheddar too sharp.
• Brioche holds sauce without sogginess; potato rolls work too.
• Make ahead: refrigerate 3 days, thin with broth when reheating.
