The key to this dish lies in selecting the right ingredients that bring out the best flavors without fuss. I always choose fresh, quality beef – thinly sliced sirloin or ribeye works beautifully here. Fresh bell peppers and onions add sweetness and crunch, while the cheese needs to be melty and flavorful to create that signature creamy finish. Over the years, I’ve learned that simple, fresh ingredients elevate this soup from good to unforgettable.

  • 1 pound thinly sliced sirloin or ribeye steak
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups sliced bell peppers (a mix of red and green)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded provolone cheese (or Swiss as a substitute)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce for depth

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak and quickly sear for 2-3 minutes until just browned but not fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5-6 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the veggies and stir well to coat. This helps thicken the soup later.
  4. Gradually pour in the beef broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes to thicken slightly.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce if using. Return the steak to the pot and let it simmer for another 5 minutes until the steak is cooked through and the soup is creamy and rich.
  6. Lower the heat and add the shredded provolone and mozzarella, stirring until the cheese melts smoothly into the soup.
  7. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve hot with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
