Low Carb Cheesy Steak Fajita Dip

You’ve been warned - this is one of those snacks you’ll be tempted to make your meal! In the case of keto, however, this is a very acceptable meal. Shredded crispy steak is swimming in a thick dip of tangy cheeses and taco seasonings. Bell pepper strips are perfect for dipping in without adding much carbs. We won’t tell if you don’t!

Recipe Steps

steps 7

35 min

  • Step 1

    If necessary, cut your stew meat into manageable pieces (you’ll be shredding them later). Toss the steak in a large pan with the salt, pepper, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, paprika, and olive oil. Heat the steak over medium-high heat until the steak is browned on all sides.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Turn the heat down low, and stir in the worcestershire and beef broth. Place a lid on the pan and let the steak roast in the liquid for around 10 minutes. Cook (stirring occasionally) until the steak has a caramelized golden brown and there is a reduced saucy glaze in the pan.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked beef from the pan, leaving the glaze in. Allow the steak to cool before shredding up with tongs and a knife or a pair of forks.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    While the steak is cooling, you can make the base of the dip. Melt the cream cheese into the pan glaze over a low heat. Once fully melted and lump-free, whisk in the cream. The sauce will pick up all the leftover flavors in the pan.
    Step 4
  • Step 5

    Once the sauce is heated to a simmer, return the shredded beef to the pan and stir in the colby cheese. Stir until the cheese has melted and the whole dip is heated through.
    Step 5
  • Step 6

    Set the dip aside to cool slightly. Cut 1-2 bell peppers in approx. 8 large pieces for dipping.
    Step 6
  • Step 7

    For serving, each person should have approx. 2 ½ oz bell pepper (2 slices) and about 3 ¾ oz dip.
