Ingredients
1 lb lean ground beef
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup beef broth (halal certified)
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (anchovy-free/halal certified)
1 tbsp cornstarch
4 slices provolone or white American cheese
4 burger buns, toasted
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add diced onions and bell peppers, sautéing until softened and slightly caramelized.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.
Drain excess fat if necessary.
Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
In a small bowl, whisk together beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and cornstarch, then pour into the skillet.
Simmer for 3-5 minutes until the gravy thickens and coats the beef mixture.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Top the beef mixture with cheese slices and cover for 1 minute until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Divide the mixture evenly onto toasted burger buns and serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure your Worcestershire sauce is free of alcohol and non-halal additives. Serve with a side of crispy oven-baked fries or a fresh garden salad to round out the meal. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
