Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons EVOO Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 medium Portobello mushroom cap, gills scraped off, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef chuck
- 1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 3 to 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano or marjoram
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- Kosher salt and black pepper
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1/2 cup (a couple of glugs) red wine
- 1 cup beef stock or 1 10.75-ounce can beef consomm
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes or tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped

Yield
Serves: 6
Preparation
Preheat the broiler.
Heat the EVOO, 2 turns of the pan, in a deep skillet or a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and brown 5 minutes. Add the beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, 7-8 minutes. Add the bell pepper, onion, garlic, oregano or marjoram, and red pepper flakes; season with salt and pepper and cook 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, then add the wine and cook another minute. Add the beef stock, Worcestershire sauce and crushed tomatoes or tomato sauce. Stir in the parsley and simmer a few minutes to thicken.
While the filling is simmering, toast the rolls: Brush the cut sides with butter, top with some cheese, and broil to brown.
Spoon the filling onto the roll bottoms and top with a little basil. Set the roll tops in place.
