Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb 90% lean ground beef
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 1 green bell pepper seeded and diced
  • 6 oz cremini mushrooms finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp fine salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 4 slices provolone cheese about 3 oz total
  • 4 sturdy sandwich rolls split

Method
 

  1. Brown beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 6 to 7 minutes, breaking it into small crumbles. Transfer to a bowl and leave about 1 tablespoon fat in the skillet.
  2. Cook onion, pepper and mushrooms in the skillet for 8 to 10 minutes until softened and the mushroom liquid evaporates. Return the beef.
  3. Whisk broth, Worcestershire, mustard and cornstarch until smooth, then stir into the skillet with salt and pepper. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until glossy and thick, with the beef at 160°F.
  4. Toast the split rolls. Lay provolone over the hot filling, cover the skillet and remove from the heat for 1 minute until the cheese softens.
  5. Scoop the filling and melted cheese into the rolls and serve promptly.
