Description
A comforting soup that transforms leftover steak into a flavorful dish with aromatic vegetables and herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- Leftover steak, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup onions, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 4 cups beef broth or stock
- 1 tsp fresh thyme
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 cup red wine (optional)
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients. Dice the leftover steak into bite-sized pieces, chop the onions, garlic, carrots, and celery.
- In a large pot, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until translucent. Then, throw in the garlic, cooking just until fragrant—about 30 seconds.
- Toss in the diced carrots and celery, stirring them into the mix. Let them sauté for another 5 minutes until they soften slightly.
- Add the chopped mushrooms, allowing them to sweat and turn golden brown.
- Time to add the leftover steak! Stir it into the pot. If using red wine, pour it in now, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Add your beef broth or stock to the pot, ensuring everything is submerged. Bring it to a gentle boil.
- Toss in fresh thyme and season generously with salt and pepper. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes.
- Just before serving, stir in freshly chopped parsley and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with crusty bread or a dusting of grated Parmesan cheese.
