Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound Ground beef (preferably 80% lean)
Supporting Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Pepper
Cooking and Finishing Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil or butter
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
- ½ cup Brown gravy
- ½ cup Sauteed onions
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly blend 1 pound ground beef with 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Handle the mixture gently to keep the meat tender.
- Separate the beef mixture into 4 equal portions. Carefully shape each portion into oval patties measuring 1 to 1.5 inches thick. Smooth the edges with your fingertips to create uniform shapes.
- Warm 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the surface shimmers slightly. Space the patties evenly without crowding the pan.
- Sear the chopped steaks for 4-5 minutes on the first side until a deep golden-brown crust develops. Flip carefully and cook an additional 4-5 minutes.
- Check that the internal temperature reaches 160°F using a meat thermometer. The center should be completely opaque with no pink remaining.
- Transfer the steaks to a clean plate. Allow them to rest for 3-5 minutes so the internal juices redistribute and stabilize.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley over the steaks. Optionally drizzle ½ cup brown gravy or top with ½ cup sautéed onions before serving.
Notes
- Handle the beef gently to keep the chopped steaks tender and prevent them from becoming tough or dense.
- Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure safe and perfectly cooked ground beef.
- For a low-carb option, serve the chopped steaks over cauliflower rice or with roasted vegetables instead of traditional sides.
- Experiment with different seasoning blends like Montreal steak seasoning or smoked paprika to customize the flavor profile of your chopped steaks.
