Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced beef sirloin and cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove beef and set aside, keeping drippings in pot.
- In the same pot, add chopped onion and diced green bell pepper. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until tender and translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Return browned beef to the pot with sautéed vegetables. Pour in beef broth, stirring well to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Slowly stir in heavy cream and shredded provolone cheese. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently for about 5 minutes until cheese melts and soup is heated through.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or chives and crusty bread on the side.

Notes
Browning the beef properly maximizes richness. Avoid boiling after adding cream and cheese to prevent separation. Adjust seasonings gradually for best flavor balance.
