Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 1 lb tender steak (sirloin or ribeye), cut into bite-sized chunks

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 2 medium russet or Yukon gold potatoes, diced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1–2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish and flavor)

Liquids & Dairy

  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Fats & Oils

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Chop the onions, mince the garlic, and dice the potatoes into even pieces. Cut the steak into bite-sized chunks to ensure quick, even cooking. Having everything prepped keeps the cooking process smooth and enjoyable.
  2. Sear the steak: Heat butter and olive oil in a heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the steak chunks in batches to avoid overcrowding and sear until browned on all sides. This caramelization locks in flavor and creates a rich base for your soup. Remove the steak and set aside.
  3. Sauté the aromatics: In the same pot, add onions and garlic, cooking gently until fragrant and translucent. The fond left from searing adds extra depth to this savory duo.
  4. Simmer potatoes and broth: Add the diced potatoes back to the pot along with the beef broth and fresh thyme. Bring everything to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, allowing the flavors to meld harmoniously.
  5. Blend and combine: Use an immersion blender to puree part of the soup, creating a creamy texture while still leaving some chunks for bite. Return the seared steak to the pot.
  6. Finish with cream and seasoning: Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat gently just until warmed through—you want the cream smooth, not boiled.

Notes

  • Use tender steak cuts like sirloin or ribeye for best texture.
  • Don’t skip searing the steak to build deeper flavor layers.
  • Partially blend the soup to keep a perfect balance of creamy and chunky texture.
  • Add fresh herbs near the end to preserve brightness and aroma.
  • Season gradually and taste as you go to avoid over-seasoning.
