Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 2 cups tender shredded pot roast beef (preferably slow-cooked)
Cheese & Dairy
- 1 cup provolone cheese, shredded
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened (1 package)
Vegetables
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Liquids
- 1/2 cup beef broth
Seasonings & Oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or cooking oil for sautéing)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef: Shred the pot roast beef if it’s not already prepared. Ideally, use a slow-cooked pot roast that is fork-tender for the best texture and flavor. If using raw meat, cook a small roast until tender before shredding.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and green bell pepper, sautéing them for 8-10 minutes until they caramelize and become tender. Add minced garlic during the last minute to release its fragrance without burning.
- Combine the Ingredients: Add the shredded beef to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir in softened cream cheese, shredded provolone cheese, and beef broth. Lower the heat and cook gently, stirring constantly, until all the cheeses melt and the mixture becomes a creamy dip.
- Season and Adjust Consistency: Season the dip with salt and black pepper according to your taste. If the dip is too thick, gradually add more beef broth until reaching your desired creamy consistency.
- Serve Warm: Transfer the creamy cheese steak dip to a serving dish or keep it warm directly in the skillet. Serve immediately with your choice of chips, crusty bread, or vegetable sticks for dipping.
Notes
- Using leftover or slow-cooked pot roast enhances the tenderness and flavor.
- Adjust the amount of beef broth to control the dip’s thickness.
- For extra spice, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes during sautéing.
- This dip can be kept warm in a slow cooker on low for parties.
- Serve with sturdy dippers like baguette slices or thick-cut potato chips to hold up under the creamy dip.
