Why You'll Love This Recipe

The beef in this creamy potato soup with steak is fall-apart tender, the potatoes are soft and creamy, all in a rich and savory broth.

Ingredients You Will Need

Steak: is a flavorful cut of beef known for its rich marbling, tenderness, and deep buttery taste.

Extra virgin olive oil: stands out as an excellent choice for sautéing, adding richness and enhancing the natural flavors of foods.

Salt and pepper: salt enhances the overall flavor of the dish and ground black pepper adds a gentle heat.

Ghee: incorporating ghee into this sauce adds a rich, nutty flavor. I love Fourth and Heart ghee and you can use Pennysprimal15 to save 15%.

Garlic: adds a savory note that enhances the dish with its bold and aromatic flavor.

Onion: yellow onion has a bolder flavor than sweet onions but you can certainly use sweet if you prefer.

Baby Bella mushrooms: also known as cremini mushrooms having a delicious earthy flavor.

Beef broth: adds a depth of flavor to a recipe giving the soup a delicious richness with an added boost of protein. Kettle and Fire is my favorite and you can use pennysprimal to save 20%.

Coconut cream: is ideal for dairy-free dishes, providing a creamy texture with a taste that is very mild and usually hidden by other flavors.

Russet potatoes: are a starchy root vegetable that easily absorbs flavor from the soup while also acting as a thickener.

Thyme: is a pungent herb that can withstand longer cooking times in stews and soups and adds a depth of flavor.

Rosemary: is an evergreen shrub and is used in cooking for its earthy, woodsy flavor having hints of pepper, lemon and mint, which perfectly complements the creamy steak soup.

Red wine vinegar: is known for it's distinctive tangy flavor and the perfect addition to this dish in place of red wine.

Instructions

Cut the steak: into bite sized pieces and toss with the salt and pepper.

Heat the olive oil: in a large soup pot.

Add the steak: and sear for about 2 minutes per side and then move to a plate.

Melt the ghee: in the same pot.

Now add: the onions and mushrooms, cooking till mushrooms are brown, then add garlic and stir for one minute.

Place the potatoes in the pot: and pour the broth over top and bring it to a boil. Once it boils, lower the heat to simmering and simmer for 10 minutes, incorporating the base for a creamy steak soup with potatoes.

Return the beef to the pot: along with the thyme and rosemary and continue to simmer for 5 minutes longer.

Add the coconut cream: and simmer for 10 minutes. Taste to see if it needs more salt and pepper to your liking.

Enjoy!

Recipe Tips and Tricks

Allow the steak to come to room temperature: before searing as the colder it is can cause the meat to constrict and toughen, leading to a chewy texture, which can affect the creamy steak soup.

Yellow onions: along with fresh garlic will add a superior flavor profile to the soup.

Recipe Variations

Sirloin tips: also work well in this soup.

Cream or half and half: can be used in place of the coconut cream if you are not concerned with keeping this recipe Paleo or Whole30 friendly. Consider these options for your creamy steak potato soup variation.

Almond milk: or any nut milk will also work in place of the coconut cream.

White mushrooms: can be used in place of the Baby Bella mushrooms.
