# Ingredients:

→ For the Soup

01 - 1 pound Beef Sirloin (flank steak or ribeye can also be used)
02 - 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (vegetable oil works as a substitute)
03 - 1 medium Onion (yellow or white)
04 - 1 medium Green Bell Pepper (red or yellow bell peppers are suitable alternatives)
05 - 3 cloves Garlic, fresh
06 - 4 cups Beef Broth
07 - 1 cup Heavy Cream (half-and-half can be used as a lighter option)
08 - 1 cup Shredded Provolone Cheese (mozzarella or mild cheddar are acceptable substitutes)
09 - Salt to taste
10 - Pepper to taste

# Steps:

01 - In a large pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil until shimmering.
02 - Add the beef sirloin to the pot and sauté until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.
03 - In the same pot, add the onions, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and fragrant, approximately 4-5 minutes.
04 - Return the browned beef to the pot. Pour in the beef broth and let the mixture simmer for 15 minutes.
05 - Stir in the heavy cream and shredded provolone cheese until melted, about 3-4 minutes.
06 - Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, then serve hot in individual bowls.

# Notes:

01 - Optional: Top with fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color. Avoid freezing the soup as the cream can separate.
