# Method:

01 - Set oven to 375°F.

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

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes exactly like the real thing but nobody has to wait in line or deal with grease running down their forearms.
  • This dip actually gets better if you make it a day ahead, so you can spend less time in the kitchen and more time being the hero who brought the perfect game-day food.
  • The ingredient list is short enough that you won't feel overwhelmed, but the result looks and tastes like you spent hours on it.
02 -
  • Don't skip softening your cream cheese because cold cream cheese will create lumps that no amount of stirring will fix, and serving a dip with visible cream cheese chunks feels unfinished.
  • The dip will look less thick before it bakes, but it firms up as it cools slightly, so don't panic if it looks too loose coming out of the oven.
03 -
  • Buy your steak from the butcher counter and ask them to shave it thin for you rather than buying pre-packaged, because it's fresher and cooks more evenly, and they'll do it in 30 seconds while you wait.
  • Toast your baguette slices or chips right before serving so they stay crispy instead of turning into sponges, because nothing's worse than a soggy delivery vehicle for perfect dip.
