Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef (80/20)
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp neutral oil (vegetable or grapeseed)
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/4 cup beef or chicken broth (or dry white wine)
- 4 long soft rolls or hoagie rolls, lightly toasted
- 6–8 slices provolone or thinly sliced American cheese
- 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- Quick pickled jalapeños or roasted red peppers (optional)
Instructions
- Prep ingredients: slice the onion, portion the beef, and warm the rolls.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the neutral oil.
- Add the sliced onion and cook until edges begin to brown, about 8–10 minutes.
- Push onions to one side, add the ground beef in an even layer, and sear for 2 minutes without disturbing.
- Break up beef and season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika; cook until no pink remains, about 3–4 minutes.
- Deglaze the pan with broth or wine, scraping the browned bits from the bottom.
- Stir in butter until melted and the sauce clings to the meat.
- Reduce heat to low and arrange cheese over beef, covering briefly to melt.
- Toast rolls until golden, then pile the cheesy beef onto each roll.
- Garnish with parsley and optional pickled peppers, serve immediately.
