# Directions:

04 - In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, and shredded provolone. Mix until smooth.
05 - Fold the cooked steak and vegetable mixture into the cheese base until evenly distributed.
06 - Transfer the mixture to a greased 9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle additional shredded provolone on top.
07 - Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and golden brown on top.
08 - Remove from oven and serve hot with toasted baguette slices, crostini, or tortilla chips.

# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • It disappears faster than any chips and salsa ever could, leaving everyone scraping the dish for one more bite.
  • The combination of tender steak and gooey cheese tastes exactly like biting into a Philly cheesesteak without the mess.
  • You can prep everything ahead and just pop it in the oven when guests arrive, making hosting feel effortless.
02 -
  • Don't overcook the ribeye or it will get tough and chewy, just brown it lightly and let the oven finish the job.
  • Let the cream cheese soften on the counter for at least 30 minutes so it mixes smoothly without lumps.
  • Grease your baking dish well or line it with parchment, because that cheese will stick like glue if you skip this step.
03 -
  • Use a cast iron skillet if you have one, it holds heat beautifully and you can even bake the dip right in it for a rustic presentation.
  • Shred your own provolone from a block instead of buying pre-shredded, it melts smoother and tastes fresher.
  • If the dip starts to cool and thicken, just pop it back in a warm oven for a few minutes to loosen it up again.
