# How to Make It:

01 - Set oven to 375°F (190°C).

03 - Push vegetables to the side of the skillet. Add shaved ribeye and cook until browned, approximately 2-3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika if using. Stir in Worcestershire sauce. Remove from heat.
04 - In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, and shredded provolone. Mix until smooth and well combined.
05 - Fold the cooked steak and vegetable mixture into the cheese base until evenly distributed.
06 - Pour the combined mixture into a greased 9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle additional provolone cheese on top.
07 - Bake for 15-18 minutes until the dip is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
08 - Transfer to serving dish and serve hot with toasted baguette slices, crostini, or tortilla chips.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It tastes like the best cheesesteak you ever had, but you can eat it with one hand while holding a drink in the other.
  • The mix of tender ribeye and gooey provolone makes every scoop feel like an indulgence without any guilt.
  • It comes together in under an hour and keeps everyone hovering around the table asking for seconds.
02 -
  • Don't skip caramelizing the onions and peppers, because that sweet, slightly charred flavor is what makes the dip taste like an authentic cheesesteak.
  • Make sure your cream cheese is fully softened before mixing, or you'll end up with lumps that won't blend smooth no matter how much you stir.
  • If the ribeye releases a lot of liquid, drain off the excess before folding it into the creamy base so your dip doesn't turn watery.
03 -
  • Freeze your ribeye for 20 minutes before slicing if it's not pre-shaved, it'll be much easier to cut paper-thin.
  • Broil the dip for the last 2 minutes of baking if you want an extra golden, crispy cheese top that looks bakery perfect.
  • Taste the creamy base before folding in the meat and veggies, and adjust the salt or add a pinch of garlic powder if it needs more punch.
