Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for searing)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 (14 oz) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 4 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped (or frozen, well-drained)
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Chopped fresh parsley or chives (optional, for brightness)
  • Toasted baguette slices or pita chips (optional, for dipping)
  • Drizzle of olive oil or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice (optional, to brighten flavors before serving)

Instructions

  1. Pat steak dry with paper towels and cut into thin strips about ¼ inch thick, slicing against the grain. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Let sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add steak strips in a single layer and cook 2-3 minutes per side until browned but still juicy. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream or Greek yogurt, mozzarella, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Fold in cooked spinach and chopped artichokes until evenly mixed.
  5. Gently fold steak strips into the creamy spinach-artichoke mixture. Adjust seasoning with extra salt or pepper if needed.
  6. Serve immediately or transfer to an oven-safe dish and bake at 375°F for 10-12 minutes until golden and warm throughout. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.

Notes

Pat steak dry for a good sear and avoid overcrowding the pan to develop a crust. Soften cream cheese well to avoid lumps. If mixture is too stiff, add a splash of milk or cream. Garlic can burn quickly; add it last and reduce heat if needed. For a bubbly top, bake before serving.
