Recipe Details
- Servings: 6
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 30 minutes
- Total Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 lb thinly sliced beef steak
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 cups beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 6 slices of bread
- Butter for toasting
Instructions
- Cook the Beef and Vegetables: Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef steak and cook until browned. Stir in the diced onion, sliced bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Simmer the Soup: Pour in the beef broth and heavy cream. Stir to combine, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Add the Cheese: Gradually stir in the shredded provolone cheese, allowing it to melt fully into the soup. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Prepare the Cheesy Toast: While the soup simmers, butter the slices of bread and sprinkle them with additional shredded provolone cheese. Place the bread on a baking sheet and toast in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Assemble and Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top each with crumbled bacon for an extra layer of flavor. Serve the soup alongside the cheesy toast for dipping.
Pro Tips
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the soup.
- Use ribeye steak or thinly sliced sirloin for the best flavor and tenderness.
- Swap provolone for mozzarella or Swiss cheese if desired.
