Add the garlic and cook for 30 more seconds. Remove the vegetables from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

Wipe out the pan with a paper towel. Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in the pan.

Season the steak with salt and pepper and add it to the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until steak is browned and mostly cooked through.

Step 6

Coarsely chop the steak.

Step 7

Beat the cream cheese with a mixer until smooth. Add the sour cream and beat again for 1  minute.

Spread the dip into the prepared pan and sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Step 10

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until dip is bubbly and cheese is melted. Broil the top for 1-2 minutes to brown the cheese.
