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 it until browned on all sides, which seals in the flavors. Remove the steak from the pot and set aside to keep warm.
  2. Sauté onions and garlic: In the same pot, add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until they are softened and release their fragrant aroma, which forms the flavor base for the soup.
  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 lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes become tender and begin to break down slightly to thicken the soup.
  4. Add steak and cream: Return the browned steak to the pot. Pour in the heavy cream and milk, stirring gently to combine all ingredients. Allow the soup to simmer for another 5-7 minutes so it heats through and the flavors meld beautifully.
  5. Season and garnish: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning by adding more salt, pepper, or paprika if needed. Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and a sprinkle of fresh thyme if desired for added freshness and aroma.

Notes

  • Use sirloin or rib-eye for the best texture and flavor of the steak.
  • For a thicker soup, slightly mash some of the cooked potatoes before adding the steak back.
  • The fresh thyme is optional but adds great aromatic depth.
  • This soup stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and tastes even better the next day.
  • For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half or milk for the heavy cream.
