Ground Beef Cheesesteak

About This Recipe

A simple one-pan, low calorie cheesesteak option made with ground beef, veggies, and provolone cheese.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 Tablespoons Olive Oil (divided)
• 1 1/2 pound Ground Beef (96/4)
• 2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 8 oz sliced Mushrooms
• 1 large (200g White Onion, diced)
• 1 large (150g Bell Pepper, diced)
• 8 slices Provolone or White American Cheese
• Sliced Banana Peppers (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat a large skillet with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the ground beef. Season with the 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Brown both sides completely for 3-4 minutes each before breaking apart and fully cooking. Transfer the cooked beef to a bowl and set aside.
2. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, followed by the mushrooms, onion, and bell pepper. Season with remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the veggies have softened before adding the beef back to the skillet. Salt and pepper to taste.*
3. Turn off the heat and add the cheese to the top of the skillet. Cover to melt with the residual heat.
4. Serve on a toasted roll with light mayo and sliced peppers, over fries, in sliders or quesadillas, or whatever else you can come up with.
