Amish Poor Man’s Steak is a comforting, old-fashioned recipe that proves you don’t need expensive cuts of meat to create a hearty, satisfying meal. Made with humble ingredients like ground beef, crackers, and a creamy mushroom gravy, this dish has been a staple in Amish and farmhouse kitchens for generations. It’s the kind of meal that fills the house with comforting aromas and brings everyone eagerly to the table.
The ground beef is gently mixed with milk, cracker crumbs, and finely chopped onion, creating a tender and flavorful “steak” that’s chilled overnight to help it hold its shape. After slicing, the patties are lightly floured and pan-fried until golden brown, then baked slowly in a rich mushroom gravy until melt-in-your-mouth tender. The result is a cozy, budget-friendly dinner that tastes like it took much more effort than it did.
