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
1 bay leaf
½ teaspoon dried marjoram
1 ½ cups peeled, diced Yukon Gold potatoes
1 ½ cups sliced carrots
1 ½ cups chopped celery
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained

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.

SOUTHWESTERN STEAK SALAD

In the dressing, honey balances the lime's acidity and the chipotle's spice. Add juices from the seared steak to make it even more savory. If you prefer, you can grill the steak instead of searing it in a skillet.

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.

EASY SOUTHWESTERN STEAK SALAD



Easy Southwestern Steak Salad image

This salad eats like a meal, thanks to grilled sirloin and a creamy dressing.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 9

Sirloin steak
Red onion rounds
Sour cream
Extra-virgin olive oil
Chopped chipotle chile in adobe
Lime juice
Spring mix or other greens
Toasted pepitas
Jicama or cucumber

Steps:

  • Grill steak and onion. Thinly slice steak. Make a dressing with equal amounts sour cream and olive oil, and season with chopped chipotle chiles and lime juice. Toss together steak, onion, greens, and dressing; top with pepitas and jicama or cucumber.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of steak: A leaner cut of steak, such as flank steak or top sirloin, will work best in this soup. These cuts are less likely to become tough when cooked in a slow cooker.
  • Brown the steak before adding it to the slow cooker: This will help to develop flavor and prevent the steak from becoming dry.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and nutrients to the soup. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and corn.
  • Use a flavorful broth: A beef broth or vegetable broth will work well in this soup. You can also use a combination of the two.
  • Season the soup to taste: Be sure to taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some good options include sour cream, shredded cheese, diced avocado, or chopped cilantro.

Conclusion:

Southwestern steak soup is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover steak. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this soup is sure to become a family favorite.
