Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

- Place a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Add the bell pepper and onion and cook, stirring for 3 minutes or until softened.
- Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Remove the vegetables to a plate and set aside.
- Wipe out the pan with a paper towel and add the remaining butter.
- Season the steak with salt and pepper and add it to the pan. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the smoked paprika and Worcestershire sauce until the steak is browned and mostly cooked through.
- Remove the steak pieces from the pan and chop them a bit more if needed.
- In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese with a mixer until smooth.
- Add the sour cream and mayo and beat until combined.
- Add the vegetables and steak to the cream cheese mixture and fold them using a spatula.
- Stir in half of the provolone cheese.
- Spread the dip into the prepared pan and sprinkle with the remaining cheese on top.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the dip is bubbly and the cheese is melted.
- Broil the top for 1 to 2 minutes to brown the cheese.
- Sprinkle with parsley and serve hot with crostini and celery sticks on the side.
Notes
- Chop Ingredients Evenly: To ensure even cooking and easy scooping, chop the steak, onions, and peppers into small, uniform pieces.
- Broil for Extra Color: After baking, broil the dip for one to two minutes. This will give the cheese a golden and appealing look.
- Use Pre-Shredded Cheese: On busy days, using pre-shredded cheese can save time without sacrificing flavor.
- Make Ahead: Assemble the dip earlier in the day and refrigerate it until ready to bake. It’s a great time-saver for hosting!
- Lighten It Up: For a lighter version, swap the cream cheese and sour cream with Greek yogurt and choose low-fat mayo.
