Steak and Potato Soup Recipe

Introduction

Steak and Potato Soup is a hearty and comforting dish perfect for cooler days. Rich with tender pieces of sirloin and creamy potatoes, this soup is both satisfying and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

• 16 ounces sirloin steak
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup all purpose flour
• 32 ounces beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (or steak sauce)
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, chopped into bite-size cubes
• 8 ounces heavy cream

Instructions

1. Step 1: Trim and cut the sirloin steak into small, bite-size pieces about 1-inch cubes. Season all sides with salt and pepper.
2. Step 2: Heat olive oil in a stock pot over medium heat. When hot, add the steak pieces and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through to your liking, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the steak, cover, and set aside, leaving the pan juices and fat in the pot.
3. Step 3: Add the diced onion to the pot and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until lightly browned around the edges. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
4. Step 4: Stir in the flour to coat the vegetables and cook for one minute to remove the raw taste.
5. Step 5: Pour in the beef broth, then add Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, dried thyme, and potatoes. Stir to combine and scrape the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits.
6. Step 6: Bring the soup to a simmer, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until the potatoes are fork tender.
7. Step 7: Return the cooked steak to the pot and stir in the heavy cream until fully incorporated.
8. Step 8: Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley or chives before serving for a pop of color and freshness.

Tips & Variations

• Use Yukon Gold potatoes for their creamy texture, or substitute with red potatoes if preferred.
• For extra depth, add a splash of red wine when cooking the onions.
• Swap heavy cream for half-and-half or whole milk for a lighter soup.
• Include chopped carrots or celery for added flavor and vegetables.

Storage

Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat, stirring often to prevent curdling of the cream. You can also freeze the soup for up to 2 months, but the texture of the potatoes may change slightly upon thawing.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use a different cut of steak?

Yes, you can use other tender cuts like ribeye or strip steak. Avoid tougher cuts unless you plan to cook the soup longer to tenderize the meat.

Is this soup suitable for freezing?

Yes, you can freeze the soup, but the texture of the potatoes and cream may change after freezing and reheating. It’s best to consume within two months for optimal flavor and texture.

Instructions

1. Prepare the steak: Trim any excess fat from the sirloin steak and cut it into small, bite-size cubes about 1 inch in size. Season all sides of the steak pieces evenly with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
2. Brown the steak: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a stock pot over medium heat until hot. Add the steak cubes and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked to your liking (medium steak is done at about 135°F). Remove the steak pieces from the pot, cover to keep warm, and set aside. Leave the juices and fat in the pot.
3. Sauté aromatics: Add the diced onion to the pot and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until it begins to brown around the edges. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds to release its aroma.
4. Create roux base: Sprinkle 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour over the onions and garlic, stirring continuously to coat the vegetables well. Cook this mixture for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
5. Add liquids and seasonings: Pour in 32 ounces of beef broth, then add 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme. Stir well to combine, making sure to scrape the bottom of the pot to lift any browned bits stuck to the pan for extra flavor.
6. Cook potatoes: Add the cubed Yukon gold potatoes to the pot and stir. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Allow it to cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
7. Finish the soup: Return the cooked steak pieces to the pot along with 8 ounces of heavy cream. Stir gently to combine all ingredients and warm through without boiling to prevent curdling.
8. Serve and garnish: Spoon the soup into bowls and optionally garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives for a pop of color and fresh flavor before serving.

Notes

• You can use any cut of steak that cooks quickly and remains tender, but sirloin is recommended for best texture.
• If you prefer a thicker soup, allow it to simmer uncovered for a few minutes after adding the cream to reduce slightly.
• For a dairy-free option, substitute the heavy cream with coconut milk or a non-dairy cream alternative.
• Use low-sodium beef broth to better control saltiness in the soup.
• Make sure to cut potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking.
