Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

  • 8 oz thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin steak

Vegetables

  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 bell peppers, any color, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium potatoes, diced

Liquids & Fats

  • 4 cups beef broth (homemade or high-quality preferred)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter

Cheese

  • 4 oz provolone or American cheese, sliced or shredded

Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional herbs: 1 tsp thyme or fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Vegetables: Heat olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and bell peppers, cooking for 5–7 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized, stirring occasionally to enhance their natural sweetness.
  2. Brown the Steak: Push the cooked vegetables to one side of the pot. Add the sliced steak, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 3–5 minutes until browned but still tender to lock in flavor without overcooking.
  3. Add Garlic and Potatoes: Stir minced garlic into the pot and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add the diced potatoes to the mixture, adding heartiness to the soup.
  4. Pour in the Broth and Simmer: Pour beef broth into the pot and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer gently for about 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and flavors meld together.
  5. Melt in the Cheese: Lower the heat to low and stir in the slices or shredded cheese. Allow it to melt smoothly throughout the soup, creating a creamy, luscious finish.

Notes

  • Use thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin steak for authentic texture and tenderness.
  • Brown the steak in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding, ensuring better searing.
  • Add cheese at the end and melt gently to prevent clumping and maintain smooth texture.
  • Use high-quality or homemade beef broth for richer flavor.
  • Taste and adjust salt, pepper, and herbs after simmering for perfect seasoning.
