Steak and Potato Stoup
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided (EVOO)
- 1 lb sirloin steak, thinly sliced into bite-size pieces
- salt & fresh ground pepper
- 4 idaho potatoes, scrubbed clean and very thinly sliced into rounds
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, grated
- 1 (12 ounce) bottle dark beer, such as Guinness
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 4 cups beef stock
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
- 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
- 1 bunch arugula, roughly chopped, to garnish
- Place a large pot over high heat with 2 turns of the pan of EVOO, about 2 tablespoons.
- When the pan is scorching hot, season the beef with salt and pepper and add it to the pot.
- Cook the meat, stirring occasionally, until deep golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from the pot and reserve on a plate.
- To the same pan the beef was cooked in, add the remaining EVOO (about 2 turns) along with the potatoes, onion and garlic.
- Season the veggies with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender, 6-7 minutes.
- Add the bottle of beer to the pot and scrape the bottom to remove any brown bits that have stuck.
- Add the Worcestershire and beef stock, and bring the liquids up to a bubble.
- Simmer the stoup until the potatoes are tender, about 5 minutes.
- While the stoup is simmering, stir together the creme fraiche or sour cream, chives and horseradish in a small bowl.
- Reserve.
- When the potatoes are tender, stir the steak back into the stoup and portion it into bowls.
- Garnish each bowl with a dollop of the horseradish-cream mixture and some chopped greens, and serve.
