Equipment

  • Large skillet

Ingredients
  

  • ½-1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 2 lbs ground beef 80-85% lean
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt or to taste
  • 1 ½ teaspoons black pepper or to taste
  • 1 ½ teaspoons granulated garlic or to taste
  • 1 ½ teaspoons dried parsley or to taste
  • 1 cup cheese Cooper sharp, provolone, American, cheddar, your preference - use Follow Your Heart shredded mozzarella or provolone slices for dairy free
  • 4 hoagie rolls sub rolls we use amoroso rolls

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with avocado oil.
  • Add the ground beef to the hot skillet and season with the seasonings. Break the meat up with a meat masher (I use a potato masher) as needed. Cook until fully browned. Do not drain the fat, let it cook into the meat.
  • Reduce the heat and add the shredded cheese, stirring until fully melted and mixed into the ground beef.
  • Spoon the cheesy beef mixture evenly into the 4 long rolls.
  • Serve as desired. We love to enjoy with banana peppers.

Notes

You can make the ground beef ahead of time and then reheat the meat and melt in the cheese before serving. If you want to dial back the greasiness without losing flavor, you can drain a little fat before adding the cheese, but leave enough to keep the cheesesteak moist and juicy. We recommend mozzarella, provolone or American cheese. If you're using shredded cheese we recommend using one without an anti-caking agent. Store the beef mixture in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When reheating, warm it in a skillet or the microwave. We love banana peppers and the kids love fries! You can also do peppers and onions, mushrooms, it's all what you prefer!
