Instructions
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ground Beef
Form Patties: In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper to taste. Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and shape them into oval patties.
Coat with Flour: Dredge each patty in the flour, ensuring they are well-coated on all sides. Shake off any excess flour.
Step 2: Cook the Patties
Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
Brown Patties: Add the floured patties to the skillet and cook until they are browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside.
Step 3: Cook the Onions
Add Onions: In the same skillet, add the sliced onions. Cook until they are soft and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
Deglaze with Broth: Pour in the beef broth, stirring to deglaze the skillet and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
Step 4: Simmer the Patties
Return Patties to Skillet: Return the browned patties to the skillet, nestling them into the onions and broth.
Add Worcestershire Sauce: If using, add a splash of Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor.
Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the patties simmer in the broth and onions for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and the flavors have melded.
Step 5: Serve
Serve Warm: Serve the Amish Poor Man’s Steak warm, topped with the caramelized onions and gravy. Enjoy!
