Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking.
Add 1 pound of sliced beef sirloin to the pot, making sure to spread it out evenly. Sauté for about 5–7 minutes, until browned and cooked through.
In the same pot, add 1 diced onion, 1 chopped green bell pepper, and 3 minced garlic cloves. Sauté for about 4–5 minutes until tender and fragrant.
Return the browned beef to the pot along with 4 cups of beef broth. Stir well and allow to come to a gentle simmer for about 15 minutes.
Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 cup of shredded provolone cheese gradually, allowing the cheese to melt.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
