Chopped Steak Recipe
Description
The recipe starts by seasoning ground sirloin patties with salt and pepper, then browning them to develop a crust while keeping the inside medium. Bacon is cooked separately to render fat and create a savory base. Onions and mushrooms are cooked down slowly until deeply caramelized, then deglazed with beef stock and infused with fresh thyme to form a flavorful gravy. The browned patties return to the pan to finish cooking in the simmering liquid, enriching their flavor and tenderness.
Alongside the meat, shredded Idaho potatoes are pan-fried in olive oil until golden and crispy, adding textural contrast to the tender steak and gravy. This combination results in a filling meal that highlights classic beef flavors with a balance of crispness and moisture.
The recipe includes tips for preparing the dish ahead and storing leftovers safely. Reheating is done gently in beef stock to retain moisture, and variations for fat sources and caramelizing technique are described. The gravy remains modestly thick, complementing the meat without overwhelming it.
Ingredients
- 6 trips Bacon diced, smoked, uncured
- 2 pounds ground sirloin formed into 8 ounce patties
- 2 small yellow onion peeled and thickly sliced
- 4 cups mushrooms cut in half, domestic
- 4 cups beef stock
- 2 teaspoons thyme fresh
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 Idaho potato shredded
- salt coarse salt and cracked fresh pepper to taste
- black pepper coarse salt and cracked fresh pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season the beef patties with salt and pepper and set aside.
- In a hot large saute pan over medium heat add in bacon and cook until crispy. Once the bacon is cooked reserve to the side and use the same pan to add seasoned meat.
- Sear the meat for 2 to 3 minutes per side until browned but not cooked through.
- Remove the chopped steaks from the pan once brown and set aside on a plate. Next, add the onions and mushrooms to the pan, turn the heat down to medium, and caramelize for about 12 to 15 minutes.
- Once the vegetables are nice and golden brown, deglaze with the beef stock add in the thyme, salt, and pepper, and bring to a boil.
- Add the bacon and chopped steaks and simmer over low heat for 20 to 25 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and the chopped steak is cooked through.
- As an optional side, In a separate large saute pan over medium-high heat add in the olive oil and shredded potatoes. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the potatoes over every 4 to 5 minutes until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve the chopped steak with the onions, mushrooms, gravy, and optional hash browns side dish.
Notes
- Keep chopped steak warm with mushroom-onion gravy on low heat for up to 1 hour after cooking.
- Store leftovers in a plastic container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Thaw frozen steak in the refrigerator for 1 day before reheating gently in the oven with beef stock and foil coverage.
- For bacon alternatives, substitute the fat rendered from bacon with olive oil, lard, ghee, or beef tallow as preferred.
- True caramelized onions need about 45 minutes; adding water or wine to deglaze helps remove flavorful fond stuck to the pan.
- The gravy is meant to be moderately thick; to thicken further, stir in beurre manie on low heat as needed.
