Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Dairy

  • 1 lb steak (sirloin or rib-eye), cubed
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids

  • 4 cups beef broth

Seasonings and Herbs

  • 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, creating a flavorful crust. Remove the steak from the pot and set aside to keep warm.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until they are softened and fragrant, forming the flavor base for the soup.
  3. Add Potatoes and Broth: Stir in the diced potatoes, beef broth, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and cooked through.
  4. Combine Steak and Cream: Return the cooked steak to the pot and pour in the heavy cream and milk. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Let the soup simmer for another 5-7 minutes to heat through and thicken slightly.
  5. Adjust Seasoning and Serve: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or paprika to enhance flavors. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and a sprinkle of fresh thyme if desired for added aroma and visual appeal.

Notes

  • Choose a tender cut like sirloin or rib-eye for the best texture in the soup.
  • For a thicker soup, mash some of the cooked potatoes against the side of the pot before adding the steak back in.
  • The fresh thyme is optional but adds a nice herbaceous note that complements the beef and potatoes.
  • Use full-fat cream and milk for richness; lower-fat options may affect the soup’s creaminess.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
