These Doner-Style Cheesesteaks combine the bold, savory flavors of doner-inspired seasoned beef with the comfort of a classic cheesesteak. Roasted peppers and onions, melted provolone, and toasted hoagie rolls make every bite hearty and satisfying.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds 85/15 lean ground beef
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper, divided
  • 1 small yellow onion, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 4 hoagie rolls, split lengthwise and toasted
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 8 thin slices deli provolone cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) with one rack in the upper third and one in the lower third.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, mayonnaise, garlic powder, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper until smooth and evenly combined.
  3. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Place each portion between sheets of parchment paper and roll into a very thin rectangle.
  4. Fold each parchment packet into several 1 1/2-inch folds and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
  5. Toss the onion and green bell pepper with the remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread onto a second baking sheet.
  6. Bake both trays for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the beef is fully cooked. Cool for 5 minutes and carefully drain excess fat.
  7. Unfold the parchment and transfer the cooked beef back to the baking sheet. Tear into 4 sandwich-sized portions, top with the roasted onions and peppers, drizzle with beef broth, and cover each portion with 2 slices of provolone cheese.
  8. Return to the oven for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
  9. Transfer each cheesy beef portion to a toasted hoagie roll, spoon pan juices over the top, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Swap provolone for mozzarella, Swiss, Monterey Jack, or white American cheese.
  • Add sautéed mushrooms or sliced jalapeños for extra flavor.
  • Use red or yellow bell peppers for a sweeter taste.
  • Drizzle with garlic sauce or spicy mayo before serving.
  • Store the filling separately from the rolls in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze the cooked filling for up to 2 months and thaw overnight before reheating.
  • Toast the rolls just before serving to help prevent sogginess.
