In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onions and bell peppers until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook another minute. - Brown the Beef:
Add ground beef to the skillet. Cook until no longer pink, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess grease if needed. - Add Flavor:
Stir in Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and beef broth. Simmer for 5–7 minutes. If needed, mix in cornstarch to thicken the sauce slightly. Season with salt and pepper. - Add the Cheese:
Lay provolone slices over the beef mixture and cover the pan. Let it melt, then stir to combine into a cheesy beefy mixture. - Assemble the Sandwiches:
