Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided (1 tablespoon to cook vegetables and 1 tablespoon to cook the shaved steak meat)
¾ cup small diced sweet yellow onion, vidalia
¾ cup small diced green bell pepper, seeds and veins removed
1 tablespoon minced garlic
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
12 ounce shaved steak beef ¾ pound (rib eye, top sirloin or strip steak)
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
¼ cup sour cream
¼ cup mayonnaise
2 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese divided (1 ½ cups mixed into the dip and 1 cup sprinkled on top before baking)
6 deli slices non-smoked provolone cheese, sliced thin

Optional Dippers

Crustini, homemade or store bought
Fresh baguette slices
Pita chips
Hearty crackers

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
While the oven is preheating, heat a large oven safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, diced sweet yellow onion, diced green bell pepper and minced garlic to the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes or just until the vegetables are tender and the garlic is fragrant.
Transfer the cooked vegetables to a plate and set aside.
In the same hot skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and shaved steak beef. Season with salt and pepper. Cook the shaved beef for 5-6 minutes, being sure to break apart the beef into smaller pieces, until browned and no pink remains. Turn off the heat to the skillet.
Return the cooked vegetables to the skillet with the browned beef and stir to combine evenly.
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese with a handheld mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy.
Add the sour cream and mayonnaise to the bowl and beat again just until fully combined and no lumps remain.
Fold in 1 ½ cups of the shredded mozzarella cheese until evenly distributed.
Add the cream cheese mixture to the skillet with the browned beef and vegetables. Stir to combine, being sure not to break apart the browned beef too much. Spread the mixture into an even layer.
Top the philly cheesesteak dip with the remaining 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
Place the slices of provolone cheese in a single layer over the entire surface of the philly cheesesteak dip.
Place the skillet of philly cheesesteak dip into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly and lightly browned.
Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the dip to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Prepackaged shaved beef is readily found in the meat section of your local grocery store. If you can not find it there, you can ask your butcher to shave a 12 ounce ribeye, or sirloin, steak for you.
