Ingredients
Scale
Burger Patties
- 1 ½ pounds ground beef (80/20 for juicier burgers)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Vegetables
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
Other
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
- Optional toppings: mayonnaise, sautéed mushrooms, or pickles
Instructions
- Preheat Cooking Surface: Preheat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat to ensure a hot cooking environment for perfectly seared burgers.
- Season and Form Patties: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently to distribute seasoning without overworking the meat. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty.
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and green bell peppers, cooking for 5–7 minutes until they are softened and lightly caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Cook Burgers: Place the patties in the preheated skillet or on the grill. Cook for 4–5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook another 4–5 minutes, or until they reach your desired degree of doneness.
- Melt Cheese: During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of provolone cheese on each patty and cover to allow the cheese to melt thoroughly.
- Toast Buns: Optionally, toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster for added texture and warmth.
- Assemble Burgers: Place each cheese-topped patty on a bun and top generously with the sautéed onions and bell peppers. Add optional toppings like mayonnaise, sautéed mushrooms, or pickles as desired.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the Philly Cheese Steak Burgers hot for the best flavor and juiciness.
Notes
- For extra flavor, mix provolone with American cheese for a creamier melt.
