This gooey Three Cheesesteak Dip is such a fun a way to enjoy the flavors we all love on Philly cheesesteak sandwiches. It's one of those ooey gooey appetizers that are impossible to resist.
Three Cheesesteak Dip
After a trip to a sports grill on vacation and trying their version as an appetizer, I had to try to recreate my own take on this cheesy cheesesteak dip for my family at home. If I'm planning ahead I throw an extra steak on the grill to have the meat cooked and ready to mix together for the dip. Otherwise, thinly sliced steak cooks in minutes right in the skillet. The gooey melted mozzarella cheese pairs so well with the beef. It's perfect party, race day or game day food, and there's never ever a drop leftover.
Tips for Making Cheesesteak Dip
- When melting the cheese, start with ½ cup of cream and then adjust the thickness of the dip after you add the cream cheese. If you like the thickness as is, then you're good to go. If you prefer it a bit thinner add a cream in small amounts until you reach your desired thickness.
- I recommend that you use the same steak seasoning on the steak as you'll be using in the dip.
- In a pinch you could use the same amount of roast beef from the deli in place of the steak, if you prefer.
- As the dip cools it will thicken, so keeping it warm even when serving is a plus. A small slow cooker works well for this.
- This dip is delicious served with crackers, crostini, garlic bread or pita chips for serving.
