Description
A delightful blend of steak and potatoes in a creamy soup that warms the heart.
Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- 2 pounds potatoes (cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces white cheddar cheese (shredded)
- Green onions (sliced, optional for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, add the olive oil. Season the steak with salt and pepper, then toss it into the hot oil. Cook until cooked through, about 6-7 minutes.
- Remove the steak using a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the flavorful juices in the pot.
- Add the onions and garlic to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
- Pour in the beef stock and carefully add in the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10-12 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Melt the butter in a separate pot over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until combined and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- 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.
- Remove from heat and stir in the shredded white cheddar cheese until fully melted.
- Serve warm, garnished with extra cheese and sliced green onions if desired.
