1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 pound beef (tenderloin, ribeye, flank, or strip steak, cut into bite-sized pieces)
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
1 cup onion (finely diced from 1 medium onion)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
4 cups beef stock
2 pounds potatoes (cut into 1-inch cubes)
0.5 cup butter
0.5 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream
8 ounces white cheddar cheese (shredded)
Green onions (sliced, optional garnish)

In a large pot or Dutch Oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Season the beef with salt and pepper, then add it to the hot oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 6-7 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through. Remove the beef with a slotted spoon and set it aside, leaving the juices in the pot.
Add the diced onions and minced garlic to the pot with the beef juices. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until softened.
Pour in the beef stock and carefully add the cubed potatoes. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are just fork-tender.
Meanwhile, in a separate pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour until combined and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring often.
Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth.
Once the potatoes are fork-tender, pour the hot milk mixture into the pot and stir until thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the cooked beef back to the pot along with the heavy cream. Cook until heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the shredded white cheddar cheese until melted and well blended. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with extra cheese and sliced green onions, if desired.

For a heartier soup, consider adding vegetables like carrots or celery. This soup can be made ahead of time and reheated for a quick meal.
