A griddled, seasoned chopped beef masterpiece smothered in melted American cheese and stuffed into a toasted hero roll. This is pure New York street food gold, though its fifty-four grams of empty carbs mean your blood sugar is about to stage a very loud protest.

Ingredients

4 servings
Ground beef (80/20)10 oz
Hoagie or hero rolls2 each
American cheese slices4 each
Yellow onion, diced0.5 cup
Shredded iceberg lettuce1 cup
Tomato, sliced4 slices
Mayonnaise2 tbsp
Ketchup1 tbsp
Garlic powder1 tsp
Salt and black pepper1 to taste

Method

1
Heat a heavy cast-iron skillet or griddle over high heat until smoking hot.
2
Add the ground beef and diced onions to the dry skillet, pressing them down to get a hard sear.
3
Season generously with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
4
Using a sturdy metal spatula, aggressively chop the beef and onions together as they cook, breaking the meat down into small bits.
5
Once the meat is browned and cooked through, shape it into two long piles roughly the size of your rolls.
6
Lay two slices of American cheese over each pile of meat, turn off the heat, and let the cheese melt.
7
Split your rolls and spread mayo on the inside. Place the open rolls face down over the cheesy meat piles to steam for 30 seconds.
8
Slide the spatula under the meat and flip the whole thing over into the roll.
9
Top with sliced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and a squeeze of ketchup. Wrap tightly in foil for 2 minutes to let it compress before cutting in half.
