Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

• Make-Ahead Option: You can prepare the dip a day in advance. Simply store it in the fridge, then reheat gently before serving—perfect for those busy days!
• Ingredient Swaps: If you can’t find ribeye, any tender cut of beef will do. Just make sure to slice it thinly for quick cooking.
• Slicing Tricks: To easily slice the ribeye thin, partially freeze the steak for about 30 minutes. This will firm it up and make it easier to cut.
• Storage Suggestions: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. It should last about 3–4 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave until warmed through.
