Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 1 ½ lbs. beef stew meat or sirloin cut into cubes

Vegetables and Seasonings

  • 4 small russet potatoes, diced
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. pepper
  • 1 tsp. dried thyme
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 sweet yellow onion, diced

Liquids

  • 32 oz. box beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream (add at the end of cooking)

Other

  • 2 tbsp. cooking oil

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef: In a large skillet set over medium-high heat, add the cooking oil and brown the beef cubes on all sides until they develop a nice crust. There is no need to cook the beef through at this stage. Transfer the browned meat to the slow cooker.
  2. Add remaining ingredients: To the slow cooker, add diced russet potatoes, salt, pepper, dried thyme, garlic powder, diced sweet onion, and beef broth. Stir gently to combine the flavors without disturbing the meat placement too much.
  3. Slow cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low heat for 8 hours. Do not open the lid during cooking to maintain even heat and moisture, allowing the meat to become tender and the flavors to meld.
  4. Add cream: After the 8 hours, stir in 1 cup of heavy cream to enrich the soup and add a creamy texture just before serving.
  5. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve warm. Enjoy this comforting steak and potato soup as a satisfying meal.

Notes

  • Be sure not to open the slow cooker lid during the cooking time to keep the heat consistent.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, you can mash some of the potatoes in the soup after cooking.
  • This soup can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Adjust seasoning at the end, adding more salt or pepper as desired.
  • For a lighter version, substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or omit it altogether.
