Wonderfully Simple

• Using a simple dipping sauce allows the cheesesteak flavor to shine through. Dip the sandwich in au jus, which is the drippings from cooked beef, to enhance the beefy taste. You can also use beef broth for the same purpose, although the flavor will be weaker. Go for a traditional taste by pairing the cheesesteaks with cheddar cheese sauce or add some zip to the dish with balsamic vinaigrette dressing.

Temptingly Sweet

• Sweet dipping sauces for cheesesteaks need to be sugary enough to enhance the natural sweetness of the beef, but not so sugary that they overwhelm the meat. Serve the sandwiches with honey mesquite barbecue sauce for a rich flavor. Add a small bowl of ketchup to each plate for a classic taste. Try a salty twist by dipping the sandwiches in teriyaki sauce. For an Italian-style taste, season tomato sauce with sweet basil and roasted garlic powder.

Tastily Spicy

• Add some fire to a mellow-flavored cheesesteak with a spicy dipping sauce. Dip the sandwiches into lime salsa for a tangy treat. Go for a rich flavor by mixing ketchup, hot sauce and beef broth. Alternately, mix soy sauce with red pepper sauce and beef broth for a hot, salty taste. Combine mayonnaise and horseradish sauce for a creamy condiment with bite. Dunk the cheesesteak into a mixture of Dijon mustard and mayonnaise for a sophisticated flavor.

Surprisingly Savory

• Savory dipping sauces take cheesesteak to whole new taste level. Pair peppercorn ranch dressing with the sandwich for a blend of creamy and spicy flavors. Serve Philly cheesesteaks with lightly watered-down steak sauce for a hearty taste. Try bourbon barbecue sauce with the sandwich for a complex blend. Dust tomato sauce with cayenne pepper, onion powder, black pepper, thyme and garlic salt for a Cajun-style dipping sauce. Add an herbal taste to the meal by dipping the sandwich in pesto – a mixture of basil, garlic, Parmesan cheese, pine nuts and olive oil.
