Ingredients
1.5 lbs thinly sliced beef (ribeye, sirloin, or flank steak)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 medium yellow onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon black pepper
0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
0.5 cup sour cream
0.25 cup mayonnaise
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded provolone cheese
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced bell peppers and onions. Cook until soft and slightly caramelized, about 8–10 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
2. Push the veggies to the side of the pan. Add the sliced beef to the other side and season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook until just browned, then mix everything together. Remove from heat.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Stir until smooth.
4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a 9×13 inch baking dish, spread half the cream cheese mixture on the bottom. Layer the beef and veggie mixture over it. Top with the remaining cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and provolone on top.
5. Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes or until bubbly and golden on top. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use a lean cut of beef to reduce excess grease.
Soften cream cheese beforehand for easier mixing.
Feel free to customize with mushrooms or jalapeños for extra flavor.
