Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450 g) shaved beef or thinly sliced steak (such as ribeye)
- 2 cups diced potatoes (or cauliflower for a low-carb option)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 cups beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsps olive oil
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Salt, to taste
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Sear Beef: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Caramelize shaved beef until golden-brown, then remove and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same pot, cook diced onions and bell peppers until softened and translucent, releasing their aromatic qualities.
- Create Soup Base: Dust vegetables with flour, then slowly whisk in beef broth and milk to develop a smooth, creamy foundation. Incorporate minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and seasonings.
- Combine and Simmer: Return seared beef to the pot, blending it into the soup base. Allow the mixture to simmer for 10-12 minutes, letting flavors meld and liquid slightly reduce.
- Cheese Finale: Layer provolone cheese across the soup’s surface. Cover briefly to ensure complete cheese melting, creating a luxurious, gooey topping.
- Serve: Dish into warm bowls, optionally garnishing with fresh parsley for a vibrant flavor accent and visual appeal.
Notes
- Ensure beef is patted dry before searing to achieve a perfect golden-brown crust, maximizing flavor development and preventing steaming.
- Whisk milk and broth slowly and steadily to prevent separation, maintaining a smooth, creamy soup texture without unwanted curdling.
- Remove pot from heat when adding cheese to prevent overcooking, allowing gentle residual warmth to create a silky, perfectly melted topping.
- Swap beef with plant-based protein or mushrooms for vegetarian version; use gluten-free flour and lactose-free milk for alternative dietary needs, ensuring versatility without compromising taste.
