Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 lb thinly sliced ribeye steak
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Sliced green onions (optional, for garnish)
  • Crushed croutons or toasted bread cubes (optional)
  • Extra shredded cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Slice the ribeye steak into thin strips and season with salt and pepper. Dice the onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms, and mince the garlic.
  2. Heat the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
  3. Push the vegetables to one side of the pot and add the sliced steak. Cook for 4-5 minutes until browned. Stir the steak and vegetables together.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir to coat everything evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
  5. Slowly pour in the beef broth while whisking to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 10 minutes.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Gradually stir in the shredded provolone and mozzarella cheese until melted and smooth. Stir constantly to avoid clumps.
  8. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. If the soup is too thick, add a splash of extra broth.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with green onions, extra cheese, or croutons, if desired.

Notes

[‘Use ribeye steak for the best flavor and tenderness, but ground beef or shaved steak can be substituted.’, ‘Cook the flour in butter for a minute or two to avoid a raw flour taste.’, ‘Grate your own cheese for a smoother texture.’, “Adjust the soup’s thickness by adding more broth or whisking in additional flour.”, ‘Garnish with green onions and croutons for added crunch and flavor.’]
