# Steps:
01 -
Finely chop the ribeye or sirloin, or use ground beef. Chop onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, mince garlic, and set out butter and oil for cooking. Preheat the oven to 350°F if warming rolls there.
02 -
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add oil or butter, and cook the beef seasoned with salt and pepper until mostly browned. Drain excess fat, if necessary, leaving some for flavor.
03 -
Push meat to the side of the skillet and add onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Sauté until softened for 5 to 7 minutes, then stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 to 60 seconds until fragrant.
04 -
Mix in ketchup, tomato paste, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes if using. Simmer and thicken the sauce for 5 to 8 minutes, adjusting salt and pepper as needed.
05 -
Lower the heat, add cheese on top of the meat mixture to melt, or stir in shredded cheese as desired.
06 -
Spread softened butter on the cut sides of buns and toast in a pan or under the broiler until golden brown.
07 -
Pile the cheesy meat mixture onto the toasted buns, press gently to hold the filling, and serve hot.
08 -
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in eggs one at a time, then vanilla extract.
09 -
Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet until combined. Fold in chocolate chips and optional nuts. Scoop dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake 9 to 12 minutes until edges are set and centers slightly underdone. Cool before serving.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Optional: Chill cookie dough for 15 to 30 minutes to reduce spreading during baking.
02 -
For an authentic Philly flavor, use thinly sliced steak instead of ground beef.
