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)
- 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 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
