Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450 g) boneless Top Sirloin Steak
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 cup bell peppers, mix of red and orange, chopped
  • 1 cup yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup whole kernel corn
  • 1 can (15½ oz / 440 g) black beans, drained and rinsed

  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp coarse ground black pepper
  • 3 cups beef broth

Suggested toppings:
Sour cream, shredded cheese, diced avocado, fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Sauté the vegetables.
    Heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 Tbsp olive oil and sauté the bell peppers, onion, and garlic until the onions turn translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Build the flavor base.
    Stir in the cornblack beans, and all the spices (paprika, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper). Cook for another 6 minutes, stirring occasionally to let everything blend together.
  3. Simmer the soup.
    Pour in the beef broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Let cook for 15 minutes to deepen the flavor.
  4. Cook the steak.
    Meanwhile, in a separate sauté pan, heat the remaining 1 Tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Season the steak with salt and pepper, then cook 3–6 minutes per side, depending on desired doneness and thickness.
  5. Slice and serve.
    Let the steak rest for 5 minutes, then slice into bite-sized pieces. Ladle the soup into bowls, top with the steak slices, and garnish with sour cream, shredded cheese, avocado, and cilantro.
