Philly Cheese Steak Burger

Falak

Ingredients
  

  • 450 grams beef (Ribeye or Sirloin)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soya sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 bell peppers thinly sliced
  • 3/4 cup mushrooms finely diced
  • 2 large onions finely sliced
  • 8-10 tablespoons oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 cups shredded cheese
  • 6 buns

Instructions
 

  • Before starting, place the beef in the freezer for 30 minutes. This will make it easy to slice as thin strips.
  • To marinade the beef, in a bowl add beef strips and the following spices- salt, black pepper, worcestershire sauce, soya sauce, garlic powder and baking soda. With your hand, mix very well to ensure every beef slice is well coated.
  • Marinate for 20 MINUTES only.
  • While the beef is marinating, start caramelizing the onions.
  • In a frying pan on medium-high heat, add 3-4 tablespoons of oil and add the onions immediately. Stir well to ensure the onions are coated with oil.
  • Add 1/4 teaspoon of sugar to it and keep stirring till it turns golden brown. Can take up to 8-10 minutes.
  • Once done, transfer to a dish.
  • In the same frying pan on medium-high heat, add 2-3 tablespoons of oil and add the bell peppers. Saute till they soften around 2-3 minutes.
  • Then add in the mushrooms and saute for 1 minute.
  • Transfer the vegetables (along with any juices if any) to the same dish with caramelized onions.
  • To the frying pan on medium-high heat, add 3-4 tablespoons of oil and add the beef strips. DO NOT overcrowd the frying pan.
  • Keep stirring the beef. You will notice that it will release some water and as it continues cooking the water will evaporate (takes up to 6-8 minutes). At this point the beef is done! You can check for doneness by using a spoon to break one of the beef strips and it should easily break.
  • At this stage, return the vegetables (onions, bell peppers, mushrooms) back into the frying pan.
  • Mix it well with the beef and then reduce the heat immediately to medium (or the mixture will dry out).
  • Spread cheese all over the beef and vegetable mixture and immediately cover the frying pan. The heat will start melting the cheese.
  • After 2 minutes, switch off the heat. Give it a gentle mix so that the melted cheese gets mixed into the beef and vegetable mixture. This will help hold the mixture together.
  • Divide the Philly cheese steak mixture among the buns.
  • Enjoy it while it is hot.
