INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Beef Sirloin
1 large Yellow Onion
1 cup Low-Sodium Beef Broth
1/4 cup Gruyere Cheese (grated)
1 slice Sourdough Bread
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Dried Thyme
1 Bay Leaf
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Thinly slice the yellow onion. In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the onions. Sauté until they begin to soften.
Add the lean beef sirloin, cut into small bite-sized pieces, to the pot with the onions and brown lightly, allowing the beef to release its juices.
Sprinkle in the dried thyme and add the bay leaf. Pour in the low-sodium beef broth, stirring well to combine all flavors. Reduce heat and let the soup simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the onions are deeply caramelized and tender.
Preheat your broiler. Meanwhile, toast the sourdough bread slice lightly and then top it with the grated Gruyere cheese.
Place the cheese-topped bread under the broiler for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and slightly browned. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
Ladle the hot soup into a bowl and gently place the herb-crusted, melted cheese sourdough on top. Serve immediately.
