Philly Cheesesteak Dip

Philly Cheesesteak Dip

PHILLY CHEESESTEAK DIP

Dips, dips and more dips oh my! It’s not a party without a good dip, and this is one for the recipe books! Any festive occasion, party or even tailgate requires a good spread. Finger foods and sandwiches are what come into play here.

Heinen’s carries a ready-made queso dip from Barrio’s that makes this so easy!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe:

  • Heinen’s CARE certified beef is of top quality. This CARE Certified shaved sirloin steak is pre-shaved at their manufacturing facility in Warrensville Heights, OH for customers’ convenience and then sold in vacuum sealed packaging to extend the shelf life and prevent leaks.

  • Heinen’s Two Brothers line of spices are the perfect addition to this sirloin steak. For this recipe, I used the steak and burger seasoning that really brings out the sirloin flavor in these thin strips of steak.

  • Barrio’s queso blanco is ready-made-to-go in Heinen’s refrigerated dips section. In this recipe, I use two containers that should be the right amount for your family and friends! Depending on how many people are eating, of course.

  • This dip could also be the literal topping to an actual Philly cheesesteak sandwich! Load up that hoagie with this dip, and more heavy handed with the steak, and it’s amazing!

PHILLY CHEESESTEAK DIP RECIPE

Prep Time: 20 min | Cook Time: 20 min | Serving Size: Large Appetizer

Ingredients

  • 1 pack of Heinen’s CARE Certified shaved sirloin steak

  • 2 containers of Barrio Queso Blanco dip

  • thinly sliced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, yellow onion and 3 minced garlic cloves

  • 1 tablespoon Two Brother’s steak and burger seasoning

  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

  • 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper

  • olive oil to drizzle on top dip to serve

  • tortilla chips for dipping (depending on amount of people)

Instructions

On medium-high heat, start heating up a cast iron skillet. While that’s heating, pat down the shaved sirloin strips with paper towels to make sure the meat is dry before adding to the pan. Set aside.

In the skillet once heated, add a little olive oil then the vegetables. Add the garlic after the vegetables have cooked for about 7 minutes or wilted. You don’t want the garlic to burn. In total, the vegetable medley should cook for about 10-15 minutes. Scrape out into a bowl and set aside.

In the same skillet, add your sirloin to the pan, and sprinkle half the seasoning on the top of meat. Let cook for a couple minutes, then flip the strips, and add the rest of the seasoning. Cook for 5-7 more minutes or until the sirloin is cooked until your liking. Remove from skillet, and use a knife to chop the steak up for the dip and set aside.

You can use the same skillet if you like, but I prefer to use a nonstick skillet or something that isn’t a cast iron so that the cheese doesn’t stick much to the skillet. Add queso dip to the skillet, then add in the vegetables and chopped steak.If it’s looking like it will be too thick, don’t add all the vegetables and steak. Leave some out for topping if you or others want to top your chips nacho style. This only needs to be on low heat for about 5 minutes, or keep on warm since the dip is already pre-made.

Serve in a large dip bowl, and enjoy!
