Ultimate Philly Cheesesteak Burger

A high-impact fusion burger featuring ultra-soft toasted buttermilk buns layered with tender stir-fried ribeye, caramelized peppers and onions, spicy jalapeños, and a decadent molten lava cheese sauce.

Ingredients

• 2 ultra-soft buttermilk burger buns
• 300 g chuck eye or ribeye beef slices
• 1 green bell pepper
• 1 onion
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 slices yellow cheese
• 1/2 cup molten lava cheese sauce
• 1/4 cup jalapeno rings
• to taste black pepper
• to taste sea salt

Instructions

1. 1Melt Butter in the Pan

   

   Place a small cube of butter into a hot pan and use metal tongs to stir it around as it melts and coats the bottom.

   Tip: Keep the heat at medium to prevent the butter from burning before it fully melts.
2. 2Toast the Burger Bun

   

   Take a burger bun half and press it face down directly into the melted butter in the frying pan to toast it until golden brown.

   Tip: Press down gently to ensure even butter absorption across the entire face of the bun.
3. 3Add Olive Oil

   

   Pour a small amount of olive oil from a bottle directly into the frying pan to prepare for cooking the beef.

   Tip: A combination of butter and olive oil adds great flavor while raising the smoke point slightly.
4. 4Add Sliced Beef

   

   Add thin slices of beef (suggested chuck eye or ribeye) into the hot, oiled pan and toss them using metal tongs.

   Tip: Ensure the pan is hot before adding the beef to get a quick, even sear.
5. 5Season the Beef

   

   Sprinkle black pepper and sea salt evenly over the cooking beef slices as they sizzle in the pan.

   Tip: Seasoning midway through cooking helps the spices adhere better to the meat.
6. 6Add Peppers and Onions

   

   Add sliced green bell peppers and onion shreds directly into the pan with the cooking beef, tossing everything together.

   Tip: Slice the onions and peppers uniformly so they cook down at the same rate as the beef.
7. 7Add Cheese to Beef

   

   When preparing to take the pan off the heat, place a slice of yellow cheese directly on top of the cooked beef and vegetable mixture so it begins to melt.

   Tip: Add the cheese just before turning off the heat so the residual warmth melts it gently over the meat.
8. 8Toast the Burger Bun

   

   Take an ultra-soft buttermilk burger bun half and toast it in a pan with butter until it achieves a rich, golden brown color.

   Tip: Toast the inner surface evenly to create a crisp barrier that prevents the sauce from making the bun soggy.
9. 9Apply Cheese Sauce to Bun

   

   Add a generous amount of pre-prepared molten lava cheese sauce onto the bottom toasted burger bun and spread it evenly.

   Tip: Make sure the cheese sauce is warm and fluid for smooth spreading.
