The product starts off with [diced beef cooked in gravy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/three-cheese-steak-dip) with blue Stilton cheese and grilled onions added in to achieve a complex taste experience. This is complemented by a [puff pastry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ginsters-beanz-cheese-slice) on the exterior to deliver a final touch of richness, while a topping of black pepper crumb offers seasoned tasting notes that perfectly meld with the steak and cheese inside.
