# Instructions:
01 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until fully browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain any excess fat.
02 -
Add diced onion, green bell pepper, chopped mushrooms, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook, stirring often, until vegetables are softened, approximately 4–5 minutes.
03 -
Stir in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
04 -
Pour in beef broth and bring to a simmer. Combine cornstarch and water to create a slurry, then stir into the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken. Reduce heat to low.
05 -
In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually pour in warmed milk, whisking until smooth and thickened.
06 -
Lower the heat and add shredded provolone cheese, stirring until completely melted and creamy. Season the sauce with salt and black pepper as needed.
07 -
Spoon generous portions of the beef mixture onto toasted brioche buns. Drizzle with warm cheese sauce or top with provolone slices as desired.
08 -
Serve immediately while hot, ensuring each sandwich is generously topped with cheese.
# Notes:
01 -
For enhanced depth, select a premium provolone. Avoid overcooking the beef filling to maintain moisture. Toasted buns prevent sogginess and bolster texture.
02 -
For a spicy version, include diced jalapeños. Substitute with ground chicken or turkey for a lighter meal. Explore various cheeses such as mozzarella or cheddar for a distinctive sauce.
03 -
The beef mixture can be made ahead and gently reheated; prepare the cheese sauce fresh for optimal taste and consistency.
