Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (454 g) salmon fillet, skin removed, cut into 1-inch cubes
- ¼ cup (60 ml) cornstarch
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) olive oil
- 3 tbsps (45 g) butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup (60 ml) honey
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) soy sauce
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- Chopped green onions
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Meat Preparation: Slice beef into uniform thin strips to guarantee consistent cooking and optimal flavor absorption.
- Searing Stage: Preheat skillet over medium-high heat and brown meat strips, stirring constantly to develop a rich caramelized exterior, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Vegetable Integration: Incorporate diced onions and bell peppers into the browned meat, sautéing until vegetables soften and become translucent, releasing their aromatic essence.
- Sauce Foundation: Dust flour over the meat-vegetable mixture, stirring thoroughly to create a light coating that will transform into a velvety sauce base.
- Liquid Infusion: Stream beef broth and Worcestershire sauce into the skillet, blending ingredients seamlessly while stirring to prevent lumping and enhance depth of flavor.
- Simmering Process: Reduce heat and allow mixture to simmer, letting ingredients harmonize and sauce thicken for 8-10 minutes, concentrating the robust flavors.
- Bun Preparation: Toast hamburger buns until achieving a golden, crisp exterior that will provide structural integrity for the succulent filling.
- Cheese Layer: Position provolone cheese on bottom bun, creating a protective moisture barrier, then lavishly spoon hot beef mixture over cheese.
- Final Assembly: Optional additional cheese topping adds a decadent, melty finish. Serve immediately while ingredients maintain optimal temperature and texture.
Notes
- Slice Strategically: Cut beef against the grain into thin, uniform strips to ensure tender, easy-to-chew meat with maximum flavor absorption.
- Preheat Perfectly: Allow skillet to reach optimal temperature before adding meat, creating a beautiful caramelized exterior that locks in rich, deep flavors.
- Manage Moisture: Control sauce consistency by gradually adding broth and stirring constantly, preventing lumps and achieving a silky, cohesive mixture.
- Cheese Layer Technique: Place cheese directly on bun before adding meat to create a protective barrier, preventing soggy bread and adding an extra layer of delicious flavor protection.
