Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs boneless ribeye or sirloin steak thinly sliced against the grain
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter unsalted
  • 2 large yellow onions sliced
  • 1 large green bell pepper sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups beef broth low-sodium
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 8 oz provolone cheese shredded from a block
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper or to taste

Equipment

  • 1 Large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot
  • 1 Whisk

Method
 

  1. Season the thinly sliced steak with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the steak in batches for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Remove from the pot and set aside.
  2. Reduce heat to medium. Add butter, sliced onions, and bell peppers to the pot. Cook for 8-10 minutes until soft and caramelized. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for 2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.
  4. Slowly whisk in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Stir in the heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes to thicken.
  5. Reduce heat to low. Whisk in the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually stir in the shredded provolone cheese until fully melted. Do not let the soup boil.
  6. Return the seared steak to the pot and stir to combine. Allow it to heat through for a couple of minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.

Notes

For easier slicing, place the steak in the freezer for 20-30 minutes until firm.
Shred your own cheese from a block for the creamiest, smoothest texture.
Serve with crusty bread or croutons for dipping.
