Ingredients:

For the Burger Patties:

• 1 pound ground beef (80% lean)
• Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Philly Cheesesteak Filling:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 8 ounces thinly sliced ribeye steak (or any thinly sliced beef)

For Assembling:

• 4 hamburger buns
• Mayonnaise or your preferred burger sauce
• Sliced mushrooms (optional)
• Sautéed spinach or arugula (optional)
• Sliced pickles (optional)

Instructions:

    Prepare the Philly Cheesesteak Filling:

1. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
2. Add the thinly sliced onions and bell peppers to the skillet.
3. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they become tender and slightly caramelized.
4. Push the sautéed vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the thinly sliced ribeye steak or beef to the other side.
5. Season the beef with salt and black pepper and cook for about 2-3 minutes, breaking it apart as it cooks.
6. Once the beef is cooked through, combine it with the sautéed vegetables.
7. Place the provolone cheese slices on top of the beef and vegetables, covering them.
8. Cover the skillet and let it cook for a minute or two until the cheese melts. Remove from heat and set aside.

    Shape and Cook the Burger Patties:

1. Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
2. Season both sides of the patties with salt and black pepper.
3. Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Grill or cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
5. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of provolone cheese on each patty and cover the grill or skillet to melt the cheese.

    Assemble the Philly Fusion Phenomenon Burger:

1. While the patties are cooking, prepare the other ingredients.
2. Slice the hamburger buns in half.
3. Spread a dollop of mayonnaise or your preferred burger sauce on the bottom bun.
4. If desired, layer sautéed mushrooms and sautéed spinach or arugula on top of the sauce.
5. Place a cooked burger patty with melted provolone cheese on the bun.
6. Spoon a generous portion of the Philly cheesesteak filling (onions, bell peppers, and beef with melted cheese) on top of the patty.
