Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb steak (sirloin or rib-eye), cubed
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (optional)
  • 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 Onions and Garlic: In the same pot, add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until they become softened and fragrant, creating a flavorful base for the soup.
  3. Simmer Potatoes: Add the diced potatoes, beef broth, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and cooked through.
  4. Add Steak and Cream: Return the cooked steak cubes to the pot. Stir in the heavy cream and milk to create a rich and creamy broth. Let the soup simmer for another 5-7 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly and heat completely.
  5. Season and Serve: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or paprika as desired. Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and a sprinkle of fresh thyme if using.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup, reduce the amount of milk or increase the heavy cream slightly.
  • Using sirloin or rib-eye steak ensures the meat stays tender when cooked.
  • Fresh thyme adds an aromatic earthiness but can be omitted or substituted with dried thyme.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
  • Adjust seasoning gradually, especially salt, to suit your taste preferences.
