Ingredients

1 pound (450g) lean ground beef
1-2 tablespoons (14-30g) butter
1 small yellow onion, diced
1 teaspoon (3g) minced garlic
1 small green bell pepper, diced
2 green onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons (30g) ketchup
1 tablespoon (15ml) Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon (2g) white pepper
1 teaspoon (2g) paprika
2 teaspoons (8g) Creole seasoning
1 tablespoon (8g) cornstarch
1 cup (240ml) beef broth
8 ounces (227g) Provolone cheese, sliced
5-6 brioche hamburger buns or about 8 bread rolls

Instructions

Heat a large or cast iron skillet over medium-high. Add the ground beef and cook for 3-5 minutes or until browned. Break it up to prevent it from clumping.
Remove the beef from the pan and remove excess fat, especially if using regular ground beef. Use your best judgment.
Add the butter, onions, garlic, bell peppers, and green onions—saute for 1-2 minutes.
Return ground beef to the pan, and follow with the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, white pepper, paprika, and Creole seasoning. Cook for about 2 minutes.
In a small cup, mix the beef stock and cornstarch and add to the beef mixture.
Cook for 4-5 minutes or until the liquid reduces some. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Turn off the heat, add the provolone cheese, and serve on toasted rolls or brioche buns.

Notes

Use a large skillet to brown the beef. It browns better when it's not crowded.
Break up clumps in the beef as you brown it. That helps keep the overall texture even and makes the sandwiches a tad less sloppy.
Worcestershire sauce is the main flavor component of this recipe. But if you must substitute it, try tamari or soy sauce.
