    Related: I get all of my grass fed beef and pasture raised chicken from Butcher Box.  Read my honest review here.

    I initially intended this Steak Soup Recipe to use fresh top sirloin steak…and you can definitely do that!  But, sometimes we have leftover steak that we need new and exciting recipes for (first world problem, right?)

    How would it feel to start losing with keto?

    • Omelette
    • Beef stroganoff
    • Steak fried rice (use cauliflower rice for low carb)

    HOW TO MAKE STEAK SOUP

    To get started with the soup, we first must have leftover steak or some steak hanging out in the fridge.  If you have steak already cooked, cut it into 1 inch cubes and move on to the next step.  For fresh steak, cut it into 1 inch cubes and sear it on all sides in a hot dutch oven or heavy bottom pot.  I did mine in batches.

    After all of the steak has been browned, remove it from the pot and set it aside.  Then we add in the diced onion and let it caramelize.  Now it is time for the minced garlic, dried herbs, and the sliced mushrooms.

    We want to get them softened and browned so they look like this:

    Then we add in the beef broth and the soup is almost finished!  After the broth, I like to add in a thickener.  My preference is Xanthan gum because it only requires a teaspoon and it is low carb friendly.  You could also make a slurry.  After I add the xanthin gum, I bring the soup to a boil so it will start to thicken.

    Now it’s time for the steak!  Tun off the heat and add in the steak, then ladle into bowls and serve.

      It looks good, but 2 pounds of steak is not “leftover”. Looking for something with maybe a small 8 oz steak, something to flavor and give just a bit of beef.

      Easy, quick, delicious and a great way to use leftovers when you dont want to keep eating the same thing. Highly recommend! I like it with a dash of worcestershire and crusty bread 😍

      This is great as-is but is the perfect “throw stuff in” base recipe. I’ll add red wine, peas, carrots, fresh herbs or whatever else needs to get used up.

      LOL….I never have 2 pounds of leftover steak, but I am going to try this with fresh steak. It is finally starting to feel like fall and soup is on the menu. We have game day for my son, and I wanted to do this in the slow cooker. I was going to saute the meat, onions, and steak prior, using my slow cooker’s saute button. How long would you recommend cooking this on low? Would 7-8 hours be too long? The steak that I am using is a tougher type of meat.

      I made this with leftover tri-tip. No additional spices needed, doubled the mushrooms and used frozen homemade chicken broth.

      Amazing!!!!

      I added 1 cup of small diced potato with the onions. Then baby carrots right before the mushrooms and added tarragon to the spices. . Deglazed the pot with 1/4 cup of red wine. Amazing! Thanks for the recipe!

      Very tasty! I adapted this recipe to what I had, which was leftover cooked steak that was a bit too chewy. I figured stewing it would make it more tender, which it did. The sauteed mushroom and onions went very well with the steak. I also added some chopped carrot and zucchini to mine for extra veggies. Since both the bouillion cube and the steak had a lot of seasoning and spices, I didn’t add any others. Was delicious, thanks!

      I didn’t have nearly as much leftover steak as you did, but I used the amounts in your recipe for all the other ingredients and it was still fantastic. AND – I was using venison steak. 🙂

        I love this recipe with venison too, it’s the perfect base, and cooking from raw only takes a few minutes, plus can add whatever tastes good or follow the recipe!

      Perfect! I’ve been looking for a recipe to use up left over rib roast from our Christmas dinner – and to use the beef left on the bones too! Can’t wait to try it!

        Cauliflower rice, diced eggplant, zucchini, or you could just add extra onion.
