Ingredients:
- 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
- 1 tablespoon flour (optional, for thickening)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- Crusty bread, for serving
Instructions:
- Sear the steak: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Season the steak pieces with salt and pepper. Add the steak to the pot and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove the steak from the pot and set aside.
- Sauté the vegetables: In the same pot, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking for another 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms are browned.
- Deglaze and simmer: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Pour in the beef broth and thyme, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Add cream and steak: Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. If you prefer a thicker soup, whisk the flour with a bit of cold water and stir it into the soup. Return the seared steak to the pot and simmer for an additional 5 minutes until everything is heated through.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve with crusty bread for dipping.
