Cooking Steps
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add lean ground beef, allowing it to sear without stirring for about 2-3 minutes. Once browned, break it apart with a spatula and cook until fully browned and no longer pink, about 5 more minutes. Transfer the beef to a bowl and set it aside while preserving the flavorful drippings in the pan.
- In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add diced yellow onion, green bell pepper, and brown mushrooms, sautéing them for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and golden.
- Whisk together 1 cup of beef broth, 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, 1 cup of ketchup, and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce in a bowl until smooth. Season with kosher salt and ground black pepper.
- Pour the prepared sauce over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet, stirring well to combine all ingredients. Allow to simmer on medium heat for 3-5 minutes until thickened.
- Return the browned ground beef to the skillet, stirring it into the thickened sauce and vegetable mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Lower the heat and add sliced provolone cheese to the skillet. Gently stir until the cheese melts completely.
- Butter the brioche hamburger buns on the inside and toast them in a separate skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Load each toasted brioche bun with the cheesy beef and vegetable mixture and serve immediately.
