Meat and Vegetables
- 1 lb steak (sirloin or rib-eye), cubed
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Liquids
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup milk
Seasonings and Fats
- 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 evenly on all sides. Remove the steak from the pot and set aside to preserve its juices.
- Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until they soften and release a fragrant aroma, which forms the flavor base for the soup.
- Cook Potatoes and Simmer: Add the diced potatoes, beef broth, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Add Steak and Cream: Return the cooked steak to the pot. Pour in the heavy cream and milk, stirring gently to combine all ingredients. Let the soup simmer for another 5-7 minutes, allowing it to heat through completely and slightly thicken.
- Season and Serve: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or paprika for enhanced flavor. Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley and a sprinkle of fresh thyme if desired for a touch of herbal brightness.
Notes
- Use sirloin or rib-eye steak for the best tenderness and flavor.
- For a thicker soup, reduce the amount of milk or increase cream slightly.
- Fresh thyme is optional but adds a lovely aromatic note.
- This soup reheats well and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute heavy cream and milk with coconut milk or other plant-based cream alternatives.
