Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 8 oz thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin beef
  • 1 cup diced green bell pepper
  • 1 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1 cup diced yellow or white onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Soup Base and Seasoning

  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded provolone cheese

Cheesy Toast

  • 1 baguette or rustic bread, sliced
  • Butter for spreading
  • Additional shredded cheddar and provolone cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. Sear the beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the thinly sliced beef until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside to keep warm.
  2. Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, add butter and sauté diced onions and bell peppers until they soften and release their natural sweetness. Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
  3. Build the soup base: Sprinkle flour over the sautéed vegetables and cook for about one minute to create a roux. Gradually whisk in beef broth to avoid lumps and simmer until the mixture thickens slightly.
  4. Add cream and cheese: Stir in heavy cream, then slowly add shredded cheddar and provolone cheese, stirring until melted and smooth, forming a creamy and cheesy soup base.
  5. Combine beef and season: Return the cooked beef to the pot and stir gently to combine. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Keep warm while preparing the cheesy toast.
  6. Make your cheesy toast: Slice the baguette, spread butter generously on each slice, top with shredded cheese, and toast under a broiler or in a skillet until golden and bubbly.

Notes

  • Use thin beef slices for quick cooking and tender texture.
  • Don’t skip the roux, as it thickens the soup to a creamy consistency.
  • Choose good melting cheeses like provolone and cheddar for authentic flavor.
  • Toast bread just before serving for the best crispiness.
  • Adjust seasoning gradually, tasting often to balance flavors.
