Easy Three Cheesesteak Dip Recipe

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.

  • Cook Steak – Add the sliced steak to a skillet drizzled with olive oil. Cook for for 2-3 minutes until browned seasoned lightly with steak seasoning. Remove steak from the pan.
  • Saute Vegetables – Add the diced onion, green bell pepper and sliced mushrooms to the pan. Season with seasoned salt and black pepper. Add additional olive oil, if needed. Cook until browned and the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated. Drain any excess fat from the pan.
  • Add Cheese – Add the cubed white American cheese, 1/2 cup cream, cream cheese, steak seasoning, dry Italian seasoning and granulated garlic to the skillet. Cook on low just until the American cheese and cream cheese has completely melted. Add additional half and half as needed to thin.
  • Combine – Remove from the heat and add the steak to the melted cheese. Mix until combined. Pour the dip into the baking dish and top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake – Bake in a preheated 350°F oven per the recipe until bubbly.
  • Serve with pita chips or garlic bread for dipping.

How to Make the BEST Three Cheesesteak Dip Recipe

  • Ingredients you’ll need to make Cheesecake Dip: Sirloin steak, green bell peppers, onion, mushrooms, olive oil, Montreal or Chicago steak seasoning, seasoned salt, black pepper, granulated garlic, white American cheese, plain cream cheese, light cream, granulated garlic, dried Italian seasoning and shredded monterey jack cheese.
  • Kitchen tools you’ll need: Skillet, 1 1/5 quart baking dish, cheese grater, sharp knife and cutting board, spoon for stirring, measuring cups and spoons.
  • When melting the cheese, start with 1/2 cup of light 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.
  • You can use whole milk or half and half in place of light cream, if desired.
  • I recommend that you use the same steak seasoning on the sirloin steak as you’ll be using tp season the dip. It’s perfectly fine to use a blend that you enjoy. A prepared blend such as Kansas City, Montreal or Chicago steak seasoning works well.
  • 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.
  • Store leftover Three Cheesesteak Dip chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave in single servings.
