Slow Cooker Homestyle Steak Soup
Ingredients (Serves 6–8)
2 pounds (1 kg) sirloin tip steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup (35 g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ounce (28 g) dry onion soup mix
2 quarts (roughly 2 liters) beef broth
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cups ditalini pasta (about 200 g), cooked according to package directions
Directions
Place the cubed steak, flour, salt, and pepper into the slow cooker and stir until the meat is evenly coated.
Add the dry onion soup mix, beef broth, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir everything together.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, allowing the meat to become tender and the flavors to develop.
About 15 to 20 minutes before serving, stir in the cooked ditalini pasta. Cover again and cook just until the pasta is heated through.
Ladle into bowls and serve hot. Garnish with fresh herbs or cheese if desired.
Nutritional and Dietary Information
This soup offers a solid amount of protein thanks to the steak, and the broth contributes valuable minerals. The pasta adds comforting carbs, making this a well-rounded meal. However, the recipe includes gluten (from both flour and pasta), so those with gluten sensitivities should use appropriate substitutes. It’s also moderately high in sodium due to the soup mix and broth, which could be adjusted with low-sodium versions for those watching salt intake.
