Directions

Prepare the Beef:
Start with shredded pot roast beef, ideally slow-cooked until fork-tender. If you don’t have leftover beef, cook a small roast with your favorite seasonings until tender, then shred it finely.
Sauté the Vegetables:
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and green bell pepper and sauté until caramelized and tender, about 8-10 minutes. In the last minute of cooking, add minced garlic for aroma and sauté until fragrant.
Combine the Ingredients:
Add the shredded beef to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir in the cream cheese, provolone cheese, and beef broth. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the cheeses melt and the mixture becomes creamy and well combined.
Season and Blend:
Season the dip with salt and black pepper to taste. If the dip is too thick, gradually add more beef broth to reach your desired consistency. Stir thoroughly to ensure the flavors are well balanced.
Serve Warm:
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl or oven-safe dish, keeping it warm. Serve immediately with your favorite dippers, such as chips, bread, or vegetables.
