Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 1 pound Beef Sirloin (flank steak or ribeye can also be used)
Vegetables
- 1 medium Onion (yellow or white onions can be substituted)
- 1 medium Green Bell Pepper (can use red or yellow bell peppers)
- 3 cloves Garlic (fresh cloves preferred)
Liquids and Dairy
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (vegetable oil as substitute)
- 4 cups Beef Broth (ensure gluten-free if needed)
- 1 cup Heavy Cream (half-and-half for lighter option)
- 1 cup Shredded Provolone Cheese (mozzarella or mild cheddar as alternatives)
Seasonings
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Warm the oil: In a large pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil until it shimmers, ensuring the pan is hot enough to sauté the ingredients properly.
- Cook the beef: Add the beef sirloin to the pot and sauté until browned on all sides, approximately 5-7 minutes. Once browned, remove the beef and set it aside to prevent overcooking.
- Sauté the vegetables: In the same pot, add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook and stir for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender and aromatic, using the beef’s residual flavors to build the soup’s base.
- Simmer with broth: Return the browned beef to the pot, then pour in the beef broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook gently for 15 minutes to meld the flavors and tenderize the beef.
- Add cream and cheese: Stir in the heavy cream and shredded provolone cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese has melted and the soup achieves a creamy consistency, about 3-4 minutes.
- Season and serve: Taste the soup and adjust with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot in bowls for a warm, hearty meal.
Notes
- For a lighter soup, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half.
- Flank steak or ribeye are great alternatives to beef sirloin.
- Use gluten-free beef broth to keep the soup safe for gluten-sensitive diets.
- Mozzarella or mild cheddar cheese can replace provolone for different flavor variations.
- Adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce can enhance the umami flavor.
