Oven Baked 4-Ingredient Amish Poor Man’s Steak
A simple Amish-inspired comfort dish made with ground beef patties seasoned with onion soup mix and baked in creamy mushroom gravy. It is hearty, budget-friendly, and perfect served over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or with dinner rolls.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb ground beef 80–85% lean
- 1 packet dry onion soup mix about 1 oz
- 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup 10.5 oz
- 1/2 cup whole milk plus a little more if needed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, gently combine the ground beef and dry onion soup mix until evenly distributed.
- Divide the mixture into 6 large or 8 smaller portions.
- Shape each portion into a flat oval patty about 3/4 inch thick.
- Arrange the patties in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
- In the same bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of mushroom soup and whole milk until smooth and pourable.
- Pour the soup mixture evenly over the patties, coating each one.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with foil.
- Bake covered for 35–40 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 5–10 minutes, until the gravy thickens slightly and the patties reach 160°F internally.
- Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Spoon the gravy over each patty and serve with mashed potatoes, buttered egg noodles, or rolls.
Notes
Avoid overmixing the beef so the patties stay tender. Use 80–85% lean beef for the best flavor and texture.
