Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound shaved ribeye or sirloin steak
4 cups beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
4 ounces cream cheese
1 cup shredded provolone cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
2 tablespoons cold water (for slurry, optional)
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and bell peppers and sauté for 5–7 minutes until soft.
2. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add shaved beef and cook for 3–4 minutes until browned. Season with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
4. Pour in beef broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes to allow flavors to deepen.
5. If using, stir in the cornstarch slurry (mix cornstarch and cold water first) to thicken the soup slightly.
6. Lower the heat and stir in cream cheese until melted.
7. Add provolone and mozzarella cheese, stirring continuously on low heat until fully melted and smooth.
8. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot with toasted bread or extra cheese on top.
Notes
Always add the cheese slowly over low heat to avoid clumping.
For a bread bowl version, hollow out small round loaves and ladle the soup inside.
You can substitute ground beef for shaved steak if needed.
