Flank Steak Soup
Ingredients:
Â
2–3-pound flank steak cut across the grain about 1/2 Inch thick then cut into bite size pieces
(Stew meat may be used as well)
1/3 cup flour seasoned with salt and pepper
2 medium onions coarsely chopped
1 small package of sliced baby Bella mushrooms
1/4 cup cloves of garlic, chopped
5 cups beef broth
4 beef bouillon cubes
1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes
6-ounce can of tomato paste
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup orzo pasta
Â
Directions:
Â
In a mixing bowl, add the steak bites and the seasoned flour coating the steak well. Â In your Dutch over or soup pot, add a little bit of vegetable oil and heat to medium heat. Â Working in batches, brown the coated steak bites on all sides. Â Drain the steak bites on a paper lined platter until all the steak has been browned. Â Set aside. Â Add the onions, mushrooms and garlic to the pot. Â Cook the vegetables about 5-8 minutes before adding the remaining Ingredients (except the steak and orzo) and bring to a simmer. Â Simmer about 5 minutes then add the orzo and the steak bites. Â Simmer about half an hour and steak is tender. Â may need to simmer longer if using stew meat. Â As the orzo swells, you may need to add more broth or water to thin the soup down. Â
