This easy-to-make hot dip would make a handsome addition to your snack table for the Big Game. Like all great party foods, it's wonderful hot, warm, room temp, and, I've heard from a reliable source, even delicious cold. Serve alongside sliced baguette. Keep it hot and fresh for guests by baking it in 2 batches, or feel free to do this all at once in a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Time 1h23m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound beef top sirloin steaks
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced
1 tablespoon butter
1 red bell pepper
1 green bell pepper
½ cup pepperoncini peppers
7 pickled red peppers (such as Peppadew®)
3 jalapeno peppers
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
½ pound provolone cheese
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Slice steak into thick pieces. Season generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a pan over high heat until smoking. Add steak slices and sear until bottoms are browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip over and reduce heat to medium. Cook until juices appear on the tops, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl to cool.
  • Add diced onion, a big pinch of salt, and butter to the meat juices in the pan. Cook and stir over medium heat, scraping up the browned bits, until onions start to soften, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Dice up the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, pepperoncini, pickled red peppers, and jalapenos until you have 1 1/2 to 2 cups. Add to the onions; cook and stir until starting to soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Chop steak into small pieces. Place back into the bowl with the accumulated meat juices. Add the onion-pepper mixture and cream cheese. Grate in the provolone cheese, saving a little for the top. Drizzle in Worcestershire sauce and sprinkle in cayenne pepper. Mix dip thoroughly.
  • Transfer 1/2 of the dip into a small baking dish. Smooth the top with a fork. Place baking dish on top of a sheet pan. Sprinkle the remaining provolone cheese on top. Save the other 1/2 to bake fresh for your guests.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until dip is bubbling and heated through, 20 to 25 minutes. Broil until top is browned, about 1 minute more. Repeat with the second batch of dip.

PHILLY CHEESESTEAK RECIPE



Philly Cheesesteak Recipe image

Try this delicious Philly Cheesesteak recipe, complete with sliced steak, peppers and onions, mushrooms and melty provolone cheese, all served on toasted hoagie rolls.

Provided by Diana

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound (450g) ribeye steak (Note 1)
4 hoagie rolls (Note 2)
2 tablespoons butter (softened)
4 teaspoons canola oil (divided)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 medium yellow onion (thinly sliced)
1 green bell pepper (thinly sliced)
8 ounces mushrooms (sliced)
8 slices provolone cheese (Note 3)

Steps:

  • Thinly slice the ribeye against the grain. To find the grain of the meat, just look closely at it to see what direction the muscle fibers lay. Slice through the fibers rather than in between them.
  • Cut the rolls, keeping one log side attached. Spread butter on the cut sides, and toast in a hot skillet until lightly browned and golden. Set aside.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper and mushrooms and sauté until the vegetables are lightly browned and the onions are translucent. Remove onto a plate and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, heat the remaining oil and spread the thin strips of steak in a thin layer. Cook for a minute or two or until they're browned, then flip to the other side, season with salt and pepper, and cook until it's fully cooked.
  • Add the vegetables back to the skillet and stir to combine. Remove from heat, add the provolone cheese to the top of the mixture and let it gently melt for about a minute.
  • Stuff the toasted hoagie rolls with the warm cheesy steak mixture and serve warm with potato chips and pickle spears.

PHILLY CHEESESTEAK SANDWICH (((AUTHENTIC)))



Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich (((Authentic))) image

I was born and raised in Philadelphia and this was my favorite lunch at the luncheonettes (sandwich shops). Places throughout the rest of the Country that claim to make Philly Cheese Steaks just do not get them to taste the same, and one of the reasons is that they do not use extra-virgin olive oil. Anyone who says that Pat's and Gino's in South Philly uses Cheez Wiz, is talking about the way they make it now. The old authentic way uses Provolone Cheese. Also, using deli roast beef is the same as using top round sliced wafer thin or frozen Rib-Eye roast shaved on an electric slicer. I was born in 1942 and this is the way they were made way back then. We are talking about authentic, not the way they are made now. If you make any changes with the ingredients or the directions, it will not be the same. Make it EXACTLY as written here.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large hoagie rolls or 2 large sub rolls
1/2 lb deli roast beef (very rare, sliced wafer thin, or you can use a frozen Rib-Eye roast shaved on an electric slicer, wh)
1 white onion (thinly sliced)
1 green bell pepper (thinly sliced) (optional)
2 teaspoons garlic (minced)
1/2 lb provolone cheese (thinly sliced)
extra virgin olive oil (for grilling)
salt and pepper
marinara sauce (optional topping) or ketchup (optional topping)

Steps:

  • Heat a griddle or a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
  • When hot, cover bottom with olive oil.
  • Add the onions and bell pepper and cook, stirring, until carmelized, which will take about 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, salt and pepper, and cook for about 30 seconds.
  • Then, push the mixture off to one side of the griddle.
  • Add the meat to the hot part of the griddle.
  • Cook, continuously flipping the meat over and slightly chopping the meat into slightly smaller pieces with 2 spatulas, until the meat is not pink, which should take about 2 minutes.
  • Mix the meat and the carmelized onions and bell pepper together.
  • Divide into 2 portions, and top both portions with the cheese to melt.
  • If using Italian or French bread, cut the bread in half, crosswise, and slice lengthwise to open for the 2 sandwiches.
  • Hollow out some of the soft white bread part from inside and place face down on top of the meat and cheese.
  • When the cheese is melted, and with 1 or 2 spatulas, flip the sandwiches over and add topping, such as marinara sauce or ketchup, if desired, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the sandwich will be. Fresh bread, ripe tomatoes, and creamy cheese will make a world of difference.
  • Toast the bread: Toasting the bread will help it to hold up better to the sandwich's ingredients and prevent it from getting soggy.
  • Spread the mayonnaise on both slices of bread: This will help to keep the sandwich moist and flavorful.
  • Layer the ingredients evenly: Make sure to spread the ingredients evenly across the bread so that each bite has a little bit of everything.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of cheeses to create a unique and flavorful sandwich.
  • Add some extras: Feel free to add other ingredients to your sandwich, such as bacon, avocado, or roasted peppers. Just make sure not to overcrowd the sandwich.

Conclusion:

The Cheese Stack Sandwich is a delicious and versatile sandwich that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
