Our Easy Chopped Steak recipe is great for weeknight dinners. My made from scratch recipe is restaurant quality and even better because it’s homemade. I have included a Mushroom Gravy recipe too!

I get it, everyone doesn’t love mushrooms as much as I do. So just leave them out of your recipe. No problem. Want onions with your mushrooms, just add them in.

My recipe includes making homemade gravy using the renderings from browning the chopped steaks. Gravy is something you can learn to make with practice.

Our Easy Classic Lasagna recipe is one of those cook once, eat twice meals we all love! Italian food is often even better the next day and that’s why we make premeditated leftovers.

Italian dinners for a weeknight meal are a favorite around here. It’s that cheesy deliciousness we all love. That’s why I created this recipe for Crockpot Three Cheese Stuffed Manicotti. Pick up some Italian bread from the delic and make this Italian butter to go with it for a complete restaurant quality meal.

Make this Easy Swedish Meatballs recipe but double the recipe and save some meatballs in the freezer for Spaghetti and Meatballs later in the week. I like to make Meatball Sandwiches with leftover meatballs.

How To Simmer The Chopped Steak  with Gravy

Simmer without the lid. Adding the lid will cause condensation and make your gravy watery. Just be sure to simmer on low so your gravy doesn’t boil out. Continue to stir occasionally.

If you want onions, add them into the gravy just before placing the meat back into the skillet. You can add peeled and sliced onions beneath and on top of the meat along with the mushrooms. 

How Big To Make Each Chopped Steak

So the size of the actual Chopped Steak depends totally on how big you make them when you form them between your hands.

I am feeding 3 adults and this recipe suits us. I make five good size chopped steaks using one pound of ground beef.

If I want to premeditate leftovers, I’d add more meat and adjust the rest of the ingredients accordingly. You will want to use a larger skillet to be able to make them all in one pan.

Ground Beef Shrinks During Cooking

Remember these beef patties are going to shrink while cooking so it is fine to over-crowd the skillet in the beginning.

Side Dishes To Serve with Chopped Steak and Gravy

• Homemade Mashed Potatoes are a perfect side dish with any meat cooked in gravy. See our delicious Homemade Mashed Potato recipe 
• Rice. Brown has more fiber but white rice is good too.
• Baked Stuffed Potatoes with Mushrooms and Onions (these could be a meal by themselves!)
• Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Balsamic Glaze
