Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 1 lb steak (sirloin or rib-eye), cubed

Vegetables

  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids

  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup milk

Fats and Oils

  • 2 tablespoons butter

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (optional)

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Brown the Steak: Heat a large pot over medium-high heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the cubed steak and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the steak from the pot and set aside to keep warm.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  3. Simmer Potatoes and Broth: Add the diced potatoes, beef broth, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  4. Add Steak and Cream: Return the browned steak to the pot, then pour in the heavy cream and milk. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  5. Final Simmer and Season: Let the soup simmer for another 5-7 minutes to heat through and allow the broth to thicken slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or paprika as desired.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped fresh parsley and a sprinkle of fresh thyme if using. Serve hot for a comforting meal.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup, you can mash some of the potatoes before adding the steak back in.
  • Use sirloin or rib-eye steak for the best flavor and tenderness.
  • Fresh thyme enhances the flavor but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
  • To make it lower fat, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or use all milk.
