Oniony Chopped Steak Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the ground beef, egg, Worcestershire, shallots, garlic, parsley, ground mustard, bread crumbs, flour, and salt and pepper, to taste, in a large bowl. Shape the mixture into 6 equal-sized oval patties and set aside on a plate.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add the canola oil and butter. When the butter foams add the patties and brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the patties to a 13 by 9-inch baking dish. Drain all of the fat from the pan but leave any browned bits.
• Return the pan to medium heat and melt the butter for the gravy. Add the mushrooms, onion, and thyme and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring rarely, until the mushrooms are slightly browned and soft, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and mix until fully incorporated. Stir occasionally, until the flour is lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Add the brandy and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Slowly pour in the stock and stir until smooth. Let the mixture come to a boil and cook until sauce is reduced and thickened, about 8 minutes.
• Taste and add salt and freshly ground black pepper, if needed. Lots of pepper is good in this dish! Pour the sauce over the patties in the baking dish and cover with aluminum foil. Bake until the meat is tender and slightly pink in the middle, about 20 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven and serve.

Steps:

• Combine the beef, bread crumbs, milk and onion soup mix in a large bowl and mix throughly with your hands. Shape into four 3 1/2 inch patties, each about 1/2 inch thick.
• Place an extra deep skillet over medium heat and add the meat patties. Cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat if the meat browns too quickly.
• Meanwhile, place the brown gravy mix in a 2 cup or larger measure. Add the amount of water called for on the envelope and whisk until well blended. Set aside.
• Turn the patties over, cover the skillet, and cook for 5 more minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
• Uncover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, add the prepared gravy mix. Coo until the gravy reaches the desired consistency and the patties are no longer pink in the center, about 5 more minutes. Serve at once or allow to simmer until ready to serve.

Steps:

• In 10" skillet over medium-high heat cook bacon until light brown; push to side of skillet.
• Meanwhile, with a sharp knife, cut round steak into 6 serving pieces.
• In hot bacon drippings cook steaks until well browned on both sides.
• Stir in undiluted soup and pepper; heat to boiling.
• Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 1 hour or until steaks are fork-tender, stirring occasionally.
• Remove steaks to warm platter; keep warm.
• In cup, blend flour and 1/4 cup water until smooth.
• Gradually add to hot liquid in skillet and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is thickened.
• Serve gravy over steaks.

Steps:

• Heat a 9-10 inch frying pan (medium size) over moderately high heat.
• Form the ground beef into two patties.
• When pan is hot, sprinkle the salt and pepper in the pan, and place the meat in the pan. Quickly brown the meat on both sides.
• While the meat is browning, combine the hot water and the soup mix.
• When meat is brown on both sides, turn heat to high, and pour in soup and water mix, scraping the pan to free any bit that may have stuck to the pan.
• Add the thyme and Worcestershire sauce if using, let the liquid come to a boil, then cover and lower heat to medium. Simmer for about five minutes, covered.
• While meat is simmering, combine flour and water very thoroughly, until it is completely liquid - this can be done by shaking them together in a jar.
• When meat is done, remove from pan and set aside, keeping warm.
• Slowly whisk in the flour and water mixture to desired thickness - you may not need all of it - and simmer gravy for two minutes on moderate heat, where it will thicken a bit further.
• Pour gravy over patties to serve, and accompany with mashed potatoes, rice or noodles for that delicious gravy!
