Hearty Beef Soup
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds lean boneless beef round steak, cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 4 sprigs fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped celery leaves
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 1/2 cups peeled, diced Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced carrots
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped celery
  • 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
Instructions
1
Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the surface becomes clear of foam. Sear the beef and onion in the butter-oil mixture until it reaches a rich brown color, approximately 10 minutes.
2
During this time, prepare the spice blend by combining flour, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Once the beef is cooked, sprinkle the spice blend evenly over it and mix well to coat; set aside for now.
3
In a separate pot, combine beef broth and water. Add the fresh parsley, celery leaves, bay leaf, and marjoram to the pot. Then, stir in the beef mixture; bring the liquid to a rolling boil. Gradually reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it simmer occasionally until the meat becomes tender, roughly 45 minutes.
4
Subsequently, add the corn, potatoes, carrots, celery, and tomato paste to the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until all the vegetables are tender and the soup has thickened to your liking, 15 to 20 minutes. Finally, remove the bay leaf and serve the soup hot.
