Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (450 grams) ribeye steak, thinly sliced
Vegetables:
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Liquid and Dairy:
- 4 cups (1 liter) beef broth
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) heavy cream
- 1 cup (100 grams) shredded provolone cheese
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Sear the sliced steak in hot olive oil over medium-high heat until golden brown and caramelized, approximately 3-4 minutes. Transfer meat to a separate plate.
- In the same pot, sauté diced onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic until vegetables become translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Pour beef broth into the vegetable mixture, bringing the liquid to a rolling boil, then immediately reduce heat to a gentle simmer for 10 minutes.
- Incorporate heavy cream and previously cooked steak into the simmering broth, allowing flavors to meld together for an additional 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle shredded provolone cheese into the soup, stirring continuously until cheese completely melts and creates a smooth, creamy texture.
- Season the soup with salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the overall flavor profile.
- Ladle the hot, creamy soup into serving bowls and accompany with crusty, rustic bread for a hearty and satisfying meal.
Notes
- Slice steak against the grain for maximum tenderness and easier chewing in the soup.
- Use thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin for authentic Philly cheesesteak flavor and texture.
- Reduce heavy cream for a lighter version or substitute with half-and-half to cut calories.
- Gluten-free option: Replace crusty bread with gluten-free bread or serve over cauliflower rice for a low-carb alternative.
