Ingredients

Scale

Meat

1 lb tender steak (sirloin or ribeye), cut into bite-sized pieces

Vegetables and Aromatics

2 cups diced potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold)
1 cup chopped onions
2 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids

4 cups beef broth (high-quality)
1 cup cream or milk

Fats

2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil

Herbs and Seasonings

2 tbsp fresh parsley or thyme, chopped
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Optional: 1 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients: Chop the steak into bite-sized pieces and dice the potatoes evenly. Finely chop the onions and mince the garlic to maximize aroma and flavor release.
Sauté Aromatics and Brown the Steak: Heat butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, cooking until translucent. Add the steak pieces and sear on all sides until browned, locking in juices and enhancing flavor.
Add Potatoes and Broth: Stir in the diced potatoes, then pour in enough beef broth to cover all ingredients. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Blend in Cream and Season: Slowly stir in the cream or milk, stirring constantly to prevent curdling. Season the soup with salt, pepper, and any preferred herbs or spices. Let it simmer briefly to meld flavors.
Final Touches: Adjust seasoning to taste. Sprinkle fresh parsley or your favorite herb on top. Ensure the soup has a thick, creamy consistency before serving piping hot.

Notes

Choose tender cuts of steak such as sirloin or ribeye to ensure meat remains tender.
Don’t skip browning the steak for enhanced depth of flavor.
Cut potatoes into uniform pieces for even cooking and creamy texture.
Add cream slowly and warm slightly before adding to avoid curdling.
Let the soup rest off heat for a few minutes to deepen the flavors.
