Steak and Potato Soup

This steak soup with potatoes and mushrooms is souper yummy 😉 The addition of dijon and steak sauce just adds an extra depth of flavor that you’re going to love. If you’re a meat lover add an extra half pound of beef. I found my beef at Winco on sale, it was labeled as carne asada meat and it came sliced fairly thin. It turned out so tender! I browned mine first for some extra flavor. Enjoy!

Ingredients/Substitution Ideas

  • Olive oil–or canola, vegetable
  • Beef bottom round roast–or chuck roast or stew meat
  • Onion–or shallot
  • Kosher salt
  • Black pepper
  • Beef broth–or water and Better than Bouillon beef base
  • Garlic powder–or 1 Tbsp minced fresh garlic
  • Dried thyme
  • Russet potatoes–or yukon gold
  • Mushrooms
  • Carrots
  • Heavy cream–or half and half
  • Dijon mustard–or spicy brown
  • Steak sauce–or Worcestershire sauce

Steps

Turn Instant Pot to sauté setting. When display says HOT add in the oil and swirl around. Add in the beef and brown. Add in the onions and saute. Sprinkle in the salt and pepper. 

Add in the broth and scrape bottom of pot so that nothing is sticking. Add in the garlic powder and thyme. 

Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set SOUP button to 20 minutes. When time is up move valve to venting and remove the lid.

Add in the potatoes, mushrooms and carrots. Replace lid and cook on the soup button for 10 more minutes. When time is up let pot sit for 5-10 minutes and then move valve to venting. 

Stir a cup of the hot soup into the cream to temper it. Stir the cream into the pot. Stir in the Dijon and steak sauce. Salt and pepper to taste. 

Ladle into bowls and serve.

Notes/Tips

  • Serve with crusty bread or dinner rolls.
  • If your beef is thin-sliced (like carne asada), it will be extra tender, no need to cut it too small.
  • Always temper the cream with hot soup before adding it to avoid curdling.
  • This recipe can be gluten free if you use gluten-free steak sauce.
  • I used my 6 quart Instant Pot*. You can also make this in a 4 or 8 quart pot.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container* in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can freeze this soup, but for best texture, freeze it before adding the cream. Add the cream after reheating.
  • Other recipes you can make with dijon mustard are Instant Pot Coca Cola Chicken and Instant Pot Polish Casserole.

    Sounds yummy. Can’t wait to buy the meat. Now on to another subject: re the size of Fat Daddio’s pan for when I do Pot in Pot cooking. I know the 6-inch diameter would fit my 6 Quart Instant Pot. But is that the one you recommend, or the 7-inch diameter? I am thinking of lasagna or enchiladas. And 3 or 4 inches deep? (They also make baby ones for tiny cakes. Who knew? I will order which ever you would suggest. Thank you. Love almost all your recipes. (My son is hard to cook for.)
