Steps:
- Slice steak into thick pieces. Season generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a pan over high heat until smoking. Add steak slices and sear until bottoms are browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip over and reduce heat to medium. Cook until juices appear on the tops, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl to cool.
- Add diced onion, a big pinch of salt, and butter to the meat juices in the pan. Cook and stir over medium heat, scraping up the browned bits, until onions start to soften, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Dice up the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, pepperoncini, pickled red peppers, and jalapenos until you have 1 1/2 to 2 cups. Add to the onions; cook and stir until starting to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Chop steak into small pieces. Place back into the bowl with the accumulated meat juices. Add the onion-pepper mixture and cream cheese. Grate in the provolone cheese, saving a little for the top. Drizzle in Worcestershire sauce and sprinkle in cayenne pepper. Mix dip thoroughly.
- Transfer 1/2 of the dip into a small baking dish. Smooth the top with a fork. Place baking dish on top of a sheet pan. Sprinkle the remaining provolone cheese on top. Save the other 1/2 to bake fresh for your guests.
- Bake in the preheated oven until dip is bubbling and heated through, 20 to 25 minutes. Broil until top is browned, about 1 minute more. Repeat with the second batch of dip.

Steps:
- Make the dip: Pulse the sour cream, blue cheese, mayonnaise, garlic, milk and lemon juice in a food processor until combined but still chunky. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Make the wings: Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large deep skillet over high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F. Set a rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Mix the flour and paprika in a shallow dish. Dredge the wings in the flour mixture to coat, tapping off the excess. Fry the wings in batches, turning as needed, until cooked through and deep golden brown, about 15 minutes. (Return the oil to 375 degrees F between batches.) Remove with tongs and transfer to the rack to drain.
- Meanwhile, combine the hot sauce, butter and honey in a medium pot over medium heat until the butter melts. Continue to cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Reserve one-quarter of the sauce for serving. Add the cooked wings to the pot and toss with the remaining sauce. Serve with the blue cheese dip and reserved sauce.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly impact the flavor and texture of your dip. Hard cheeses like cheddar and Parmesan provide a sharp, nutty flavor, while soft cheeses like cream cheese and goat cheese offer a smooth, creamy texture. You can also combine different types of cheese to create a unique flavor profile.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Always use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh herbs, vegetables, and spices will elevate the taste of your dip.
- Don't Overcook: Be careful not to overcook your dip, as this can make it tough and rubbery. Most cheese dips should be cooked over low heat until the cheese is melted and smooth.
- Add Flavor Boosters: Experiment with different ingredients to add flavor to your dip. Popular additions include garlic, onions, peppers, bacon, and jalapeños. You can also add herbs, spices, and citrus zest for a unique twist.
- Serve with the Right Accompaniments: Cheese dips are often served with chips, crackers, or vegetables. Choose accompaniments that complement the flavor of the dip and provide a contrasting texture.
Conclusion:
With endless variations and flavor combinations, cheese dips offer a delightful treat for any occasion. Whether you prefer a classic cheddar dip or a more adventurous concoction, experimenting with different recipes is a great way to discover new favorites. Remember to use high-quality ingredients, don't overcook the dip, and add your own personal touch with flavor boosters. Serve with the right accompaniments, and you'll have a delicious cheese dip that everyone will love.
