Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

  • 1 lb thinly sliced beef

Vegetables

  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

Liquids

  • 4 cups beef broth

Dairy & Cheese

  • 1 ½ cups cheese sauce (blend of melted cheese and cream, such as provolone or American cheese)

Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Slice the beef thinly and chop the bell peppers, onions, and potatoes into bite-sized pieces to ensure smooth and speedy cooking.
  2. Sauté Onions, Peppers, and Garlic: In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat and sauté the onions, bell peppers, and garlic until soft and fragrant, building a flavorful base for the soup.
  3. Brown the Beef: Add the thinly sliced beef to the pot and cook until it just begins to brown but remains tender, preserving the rich meaty flavor.
  4. Add Potatoes and Broth: Pour in the beef broth and add the diced potatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender and flavors meld, about 15-20 minutes.
  5. Stir in Cheese Sauce: Gently mix in the cheese sauce, stirring until the soup becomes creamy and luscious with the signature cheesesteak richness.
  6. Season and Serve: Season with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. Stir well, then ladle into bowls and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Use thinly sliced beef to ensure quick cooking and tender texture.
  • Don’t overcook the peppers; keep them slightly crisp for texture contrast.
  • Make cheese sauce from scratch by gradually melting cheese with milk or cream for the best consistency.
  • Season gradually and taste as you go to balance flavors perfectly.
  • Simmer the soup slowly allowing potatoes to absorb the savory broth.
