Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Dutch oven
  • separate pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound beef (tenderloin, ribeye, flank or strip steak, cut into bite size pieces)
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1 cup onion (finely diced from 1 medium onion)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 4 cups beef stock
  • 2 pounds potatoes (cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • ½ cup butter
  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • 3 cups milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 ounces white cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • green onions (sliced, optional garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Add the olive oil to a large pot or Dutch Oven over medium heat.
  • Season the steak with the salt and pepper, then add to the hot oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until it’s done through, about 6-7 minutes.
  • Remove the steak with a slotted spoon and set it aside. Leave the extra juices in the pot.
  • Add the onions and garlic to the pot with the beef juices. Cook 2-3 minutes, or until softened.
  • Pour in the beef stock and carefully add in the potatoes. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are just fork tender.
  • Meanwhile, in a separate pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour until combined and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring often.
  • Whisk in the milk.
  • Once the potatoes are fork-tender, pour in the hot milk mixture and stir until thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the steak back to the pot along with the heavy cream and cook until heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the white cheddar cheese until melted and well blended.
  • Taste and season as needed.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with extra cheese and sliced green onions, if desired.

Notes

Shred the cheese from a block rather than buying pre-shredded bagged cheese. It melts so much better. Use the most tender cut of beef you can find. Store leftover soup in individual airtight containers in the refrigerator. Consume within 3-4 days.
