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 & Dairy
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup milk
Fat & Seasonings
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (optional)
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 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.
- Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Cook Potatoes in Broth: Add the diced potatoes, beef broth, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Add Cream and Milk: Return the cooked steak to the pot along with the heavy cream and milk. Stir to combine, then let the soup simmer for another 5-7 minutes to heat through and allow it to thicken slightly.
- Season and Serve: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning as needed by adding more salt, pepper, or paprika. Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and a sprinkle of fresh thyme if desired.
Notes
- This soup can be made with either sirloin or rib-eye steak depending on preference and availability.
- For a thicker soup, reduce the amount of milk or simmer longer until desired consistency is reached.
- Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat nicely on the stove or microwave.
- Fresh herbs like thyme add a subtle aromatic note but can be omitted if unavailable.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half, though creaminess will be reduced.
