Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 lb ribeye or sirloin steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped

Cheese and Dairy

  • 8 oz provolone cheese, sliced and shredded
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp butter

Soup Base

  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups beef broth

Bread and Toast

  • 1 French bread or baguette, sliced
  • Butter for spreading on bread

Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Garlic powder, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Steak and Vegetables: Thinly slice your steak and chop the onions and bell peppers. In a large pot or Dutch oven, sauté the steak until just browned, then remove it to keep it tender. Next, cook the onions and peppers in the same pot until softened and fragrant.
  2. Make the Roux for the Soup Base: In the same pot, melt butter and whisk in flour. Stir constantly until golden and bubbly, creating a roux that will thicken your soup beautifully without lumps.
  3. Add Broth and Simmer: Slowly whisk in the beef broth, making sure everything combines smoothly. Bring it to a simmer and let the soup thicken slightly, developing deep flavors.
  4. Incorporate Cream and Cheese: Pour in the heavy cream and add provolone cheese, stirring until the cheese melts completely into the creamy broth. Return the cooked steak, onions, and peppers to the pot, letting the soup heat through evenly.
  5. Make the Cheesy Toast: Slice the French bread, butter the slices lightly, then layer with provolone or your favorite melting cheese. Toast under the broiler until the cheese bubbles and turns golden brown, then serve alongside your soup for dipping.

Notes

  • Use thinly sliced steak to ensure tenderness and quick cooking.
  • Don’t skip the roux; it thickens the soup without clumps.
  • Melt cheese slowly off the heat to keep it smooth and avoid curdling.
  • Toast bread just before serving for the best crispy texture.
  • Adjust soup thickness by adding more broth for thinner soup or simmering longer for thicker soup.
