Steak, Sweet Potato, Brown Rice, Chard, Herby Soup Chopped

February 19, 2015

Do you like soups or stews? You can have it either way with this “Stoup” as Rachel Ray would call it. What I had in mind was a soup. The base is brothy like a soup, but there are so many thick and hearty grains and veggies, the texture came out more like a stew. When I make a “true stew” I lightly dredge the meat in flour when I sear it. That way the liquid thickens while it’s cooking. There’s no flour in this soup and I used cooked leftover steak.

Sautéed Soup Pot Ingredients:
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 cup Chopped Brown, Red or White Onion
2 Garlic Cloves, finely Chopped
1 cup Chopped Sweet Potato. Just scrub them, no need to peel.
1 cup Chopped Carrots
1 cup Chopped Celery
1 cup Chopped Green Beans
1 cup Chopped Mushrooms. I used a beautiful spray of White Beech Mushrooms. Use whatever you like.
1/4 cup Chopped Sun Dried Tomatoes packed in oil
1 cup cooked Brown Rice
1 1/2 cups Chopped cooked lean Steak. Flank Flank or Top Sirloin are my “go to’s”
1 teaspoon Dried Dill
1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
1/4 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
1/2 teaspoon Kosher or Sea Salt

Now Add:
4 cups Beef Broth or more if you want it soupier

Kosher or Sea Salt to taste
Zing Factor:
1 cup Sauerkraut Chopped
1 Tablespoon Red Wine Vinegar, or to taste
4 teaspoons Pesto. Portioned out.
