A delightful blend of steak and potatoes in a creamy soup that warms the heart.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pound beef (tenderloin, ribeye, flank, or strip steak, cut into bite-size pieces)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup onion (finely diced from 1 medium onion)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 4 cups beef stock

- Gradually whisk in the milk to create a creamy base.
- Once the potatoes are done, pour in the hot milk mixture and stir until thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir the cooked steak back into the pot along with the heavy cream. Heat through for another 2-3 minutes.

- Garnish Generously: A handful of fresh green onions or extra cheddar cheese on top adds an extra layer of flavor.
