1-First Step: Preheat and Prepare Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F and greasing a 9-inch pie plate. This step sets the stage for even baking and prevents the dip from sticking. While the oven heats, take a moment to soften your cream cheese if it isn’t already, which makes mixing easier and ensures a smooth base.

2-Second Step: Mix the Creamy Base In a large bowl, combine 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes if using, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Chop 7 slices of provolone into bite-sized pieces and stir them into the mixture until everything is well blended. This creates the flavorful foundation of your dip, blending creamy and savory elements perfectly.

3-Third Step: Cook the Steak and Veggies Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of shaved beef ribeye steaks and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to brown. Then, toss in 1 finely chopped medium onion, 1 finely chopped medium green pepper, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir frequently for 3-4 minutes until the steak is fully browned and the vegetables are tender. If there’s excess grease, drain it to keep the dip from becoming too oily.

4-Fourth Step: Combine and Transfer Once the steak and veggies are ready, stir them into the creamy cheese mixture until everything is evenly combined. This step infuses the dip with that classic Philly cheesesteak taste. Transfer the mixture to your prepared pie plate, smooth the top for even baking, and arrange the remaining 5 slices of provolone on top to create a cheesy crust.

5-Fifth Step: Bake to Perfection Bake the dip in your preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges are golden brown. For a nice finish, switch to broil and cook for 1-2 more minutes until the center turns golden. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning, as broiling can happen quickly. The total cook time is about 40 minutes, but your kitchen will smell amazing in the meantime.

6-Final Step: Cool and Serve Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before digging in. This allows the flavors to settle and makes it easier to scoop. For the best experience, serve it with options like sliced baguette, crostini, tortilla chips, or crudites. As a nod to our grilling roots, this dip pairs great with other beefy recipes, such as our Beef and Cheese Casserole, for a hearty outdoor feast. With a total preparation time of about 60 minutes, you’ll have a crowd-pleaser ready in no time.
