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 & 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)

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.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
