The tender beef steak, earthy mushrooms, and savory ale in this hearty soup make for a comforting and tasty meal.
Ingredients: 1 lb beef sirloin steak, thinly sliced. 1 onion, diced. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 8 oz mushrooms, sliced. 2 carrots, diced. 2 celery stalks, diced. 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. 4 cups beef broth. 1 cup ale or stout. 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce. 1 tsp dried thyme. Salt and pepper to taste. 2 tbsp olive oil.
Instructions: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced steak and cook until browned, then remove and set aside. In the same pot, add onion, garlic, mushrooms, carrots, and celery. Cook until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Slowly pour in beef broth and ale, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Return the cooked steak to the pot and simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning if needed, then serve hot.
