Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 ½ pounds lean boneless beef round steak, cut into cubes
½ cup chopped onion
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 cups beef broth
2 cups water
4 sprigs fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped celery leaves

Steps:

  • Melt butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the foam disappears from the butter, and stir in the steak cubes and onion. Cook and stir until the meat and onion are browned, about 10 minutes. While beef is cooking, mix together flour, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Sprinkle the flour mixture over the browned meat, and stir to coat.

SOUTHWESTERN STEAK SOUP



Southwestern Steak Soup image

I made this up to use leftover grilled steak. It's a delicious, hearty soup that is perfect with a salad and some homemade biscuits or beer bread on the side. Almost any kind of steak should work, although we usually grill New York, porterhouse, or sirloin. If you don't usually have leftover steak, you can always grill an extra one just so you can make this soup! You can adjust the heat by using a milder or hotter salsa, adding cayenne or chipotle, or adding jalepeno or other hot peppers.
