Time 9h25m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound ground beef
1 cup milk
1 cup crushed saltine crackers
1 onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (14.5 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup

Steps:

  • Mix ground beef, milk, saltine cracker crumbs, onion, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Shape mixture into a narrow loaf and place onto a baking sheet; cover and refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cut loaf into 1-inch-thick slices and sear the 'steaks' in the hot skillet until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Insides will still be pink. Arrange slices in a roasting pan. Spread mushroom soup over steaks.
  • Bake steaks in the preheated oven until mushroom soup is bubbling and meat is no longer pink inside, about 1 hour. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of a meat slice should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Choose affordable cuts of meat like flank steak or chuck roast. These cuts are typically less tender but can be made delicious with the right cooking methods.
  • Tenderize the meat before cooking. Use a meat mallet or a fork to pierce the meat all over. This will help break down the tough fibers and make the meat more tender.
  • Marinate the meat for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help add flavor and moisture to the meat.
  • Cook the meat slowly over low heat. This will help to break down the tough fibers and make the meat more tender.
  • Don't overcook the meat. Overcooked meat will be tough and dry. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the meat is cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Serve the meat with a flavorful sauce. This will help to add moisture and flavor to the meat.

Conclusion:

Amish Poor Man's Steak is a delicious and affordable meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make this dish at home. Just remember to choose a good cut of meat, tenderize it before cooking, and cook it slowly over low heat. With these tips, you'll be able to enjoy a delicious and satisfying steak dinner without breaking the bank.
