Ingredients
Method
- Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season steak with salt and pepper, sear in batches for about 3 minutes per side, then set aside.
- Lower heat to medium. Cook onion, carrot, and celery for 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, flour, and tomato paste; cook 1 minute more.
- Pour in broth, scraping up fond. Add potatoes, Worcestershire, thyme, bay leaf, and steak. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer on low for 30–35 minutes.
- Remove bay leaf. Take pot off heat, stir in cream, and season to taste. Ladle into bowls while hot and top with parsley or black pepper.
Notes
This soup thickens as it cools, so add a splash of broth or water when reheating leftovers. For a chunkier texture, use a potato masher to break up some of the potatoes in the pot before stirring in the cream.
