Ingredients
Scale
Beef
- 1 pound Beef Sirloin (flank steak or ribeye can also be used)
Vegetables
- 1 medium Onion (yellow or white onion can be substituted)
- 1 medium Green Bell Pepper (red or yellow bell peppers can be used)
- 3 cloves Garlic (fresh cloves preferred)
Liquids & Dairy
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (vegetable oil works as substitute)
- 4 cups Beef Broth (ensure gluten-free if needed)
- 1 cup Heavy Cream (half-and-half can be used for a lighter option)
- 1 cup Shredded Provolone Cheese (mozzarella or mild cheddar as alternatives)
Seasoning
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat Oil: In a large pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil until it shimmers, preparing the base for sautéing the beef and vegetables.
- Sauté Beef: Add the beef sirloin to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the pot and set it aside to retain its juices.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same pot, add the chopped onions, green bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are tender and fragrant, approximately 4-5 minutes, absorbing the flavors left from the beef.
- Simmer Soup: Return the browned beef to the pot. Pour in the beef broth, stir, and bring the soup to a simmer. Allow it to cook gently for 15 minutes so the flavors meld perfectly.
- Add Cream and Cheese: Stir in the heavy cream and shredded provolone cheese. Continue cooking and stirring for 3-4 minutes until the cheese melts fully, creating a rich and creamy texture.
- Season and Serve: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot in bowls for a comforting meal.
Notes
- You can substitute ribeye or flank steak if sirloin is not available.
- Use vegetable oil instead of olive oil if preferred.
- Yellow or white onions, as well as red or yellow bell peppers, can be used instead of green and medium onion.
- For a lighter soup, half-and-half can replace heavy cream.
- Shredded mozzarella or mild cheddar cheese can be used instead of provolone.
- Ensure beef broth is gluten-free if you require a gluten-free recipe.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
