A warm, cheesy, and flavorful dip inspired by the classic Philly cheesesteak sandwich, perfect for game day snacks and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin steak, trimmed of excess fat
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces provolone cheese, shredded or sliced
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 1 large baguette or sourdough loaf, sliced

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice the ribeye steak into bite-sized strips, slice the onion and bell pepper into thin strips, and mince the garlic cloves.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and sweet.
  3. Add the sliced bell peppers and minced garlic to the skillet with the onions. Cook for another 5 minutes until peppers soften but still hold some crunch. Remove the mixture from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Increase heat to medium-high and add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the sliced steak in an even layer, season with salt and pepper. Let sear without stirring for 2 minutes, then stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes until cooked through but tender.
  5. In a small bowl, combine softened cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth.
  6. Lower heat to medium. Return the onion and pepper mixture to the skillet with the steak. Stir in the cream cheese mixture and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well until cheese starts to melt and everything is evenly coated.
  7. Scatter the shredded or sliced provolone evenly over the top. Cover the skillet with a lid or foil for 3-5 minutes to allow the cheese to melt fully and become gooey.
  8. Remove the lid and gently stir the dip to mix the melted cheese throughout. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately with slices of crusty bread.

Notes

Slowly caramelize onions for best flavor. Use a hot pan to sear steak quickly for a savory crust. Soften cream cheese fully before mixing. Cover skillet to melt cheese evenly. For a bubbly top, broil 1-2 minutes at the end, watching closely. Can substitute ground beef for quicker prep or plant-based alternatives for vegetarian/dairy-free versions. Serve with crusty bread or fresh veggies for low-carb option. Leftovers keep up to 3 days refrigerated; reheat gently.
