Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

• Make Ahead: This dip can be prepared in advance. Assemble it a day before and simply bake or heat it right before serving!
• Ingredient Swaps: If you can’t find ribeye, feel free to use sirloin or even chicken for a lighter version.
• Slice with Precision: For easier slicing of the ribeye, freeze the meat for about 30 minutes before cutting; it firms up just enough to make slicing super easy.
• Storage Suggestions: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for about 3 days—just reheat gently before serving again!
