Philly Cheese Steak Dip (Print version)

A hot, creamy Philly Cheese Steak Dip with shaved steak, peppers, onions, cream cheese, and bubbly provolone.

# Ingredients:

For the steak and vegetables

01 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
02 - 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
03 - 1 green bell pepper, finely diced
04 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 1 lb (450 g) shaved ribeye or shaved sirloin steak
06 - 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
07 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
08 - 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

For the creamy cheese base

09 - 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
10 - 1/2 cup (120 g) sour cream
11 - 1/4 cup (60 g) mayonnaise
12 - 1 cup (110 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
13 - 8 oz (225 g) provolone cheese, chopped or shredded, divided

For serving

14 - Toasted baguette slices, sturdy tortilla chips, pretzel bites, or bell pepper strips

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375 F. Lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish or an oven-safe skillet.
02 - Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook for about 6 minutes, stirring often, until softened and lightly browned. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
03 - Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet. Add the shaved steak and cook for 2-3 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula, until just browned. Season with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
04 - In a mixing bowl, stir the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, mozzarella, and half of the provolone until mostly smooth.
05 - Fold the hot steak and vegetable mixture into the cheese base until evenly combined. Spread into the prepared baking dish.
06 - Top with the remaining provolone. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until bubbling at the edges and melted on top. Rest for 5 minutes before serving warm.

# Good to know:

01 - Best served hot while the cheese is melted and scoopable.
02 - Assemble up to 24 hours ahead and bake just before serving.
03 - Add 5 minutes to the bake time if the dip starts cold from the refrigerator.
