Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound of steak (sirloin or ribeye, cut into small cubes)
- 4 medium-sized potatoes (peeled and diced)
- 1 large onion (chopped)
- 3 cloves of garlic (minced)
- 4 cups of beef broth
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup of frozen peas (optional)
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the steak cubes with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned steak cubes in a single layer and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the steak and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently. Add diced potatoes and stir for 2-3 minutes to soften them slightly.
- Pour in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to release browned bits. Add dried thyme and stir. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
- Return the seared steak to the pot. If using, add frozen peas and stir. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring to create a creamy texture. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. For a thicker soup, blend a portion with an immersion blender and stir back in. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot with crusty bread or a side salad.
Notes
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat on the stove over medium heat, adding a splash of beef broth or water if it thickens too much.
