What to Serve with Philly Cheesesteak Dip

How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Dip
Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Season both sides of the steak liberally with salt and pepper. When the skillet is hot, cook steak for about 4 minutes on each side (photo 1). Remove from skillet, and set aside to rest.
Add onion and green pepper to the same hot skillet (photo 2). Saute until tender, about 10 minutes. Add garlic, and cook an additional 2 minutes, until fragrant. Remove skillet from heat and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together cream cheese and sour cream until smooth (photo 3). Fold in cooked onions and peppers. Slice rested ribeye into bite-sized pieces (photo 4). Fold into cream cheese mixture (photo 5), along with provolone and ½ cup shredded mozzarella (photo 6).
Transfer dip mixture to a 9-inch baking dish or cast iron skillet (photo 8). Sprinkle remaining mozzarella (photo 9). Bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes, until cheese is melted and dip is hot and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve warm.
