Got this ‘Poor Man’s Steak’ recipe from an Amish friend. Delicious! Doesn’t feel like I’m skimping.

For the Poor Man’s Steak:
1. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, milk, onion, and beaten egg until well combined.
2. Press the mixture into a greased loaf pan or shape into a rectangle on a greased baking sheet.
3. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to firm up.
4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
5. Slice the chilled meat mixture into half-inch thick steaks.
6. Place the steaks on a greased baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes.

For the Gravy:
7. In a saucepan, whisk together beef broth and flour over medium heat until it thickens. Season with salt and pepper.

For the Mashed Potatoes:
8. Boil the potatoes with the minced garlic until tender, about 20 minutes.
9. Drain the potatoes and mash with milk, butter, salt, and pepper until smooth.

To Serve:
10. Pour gravy over the baked steaks and serve with the mashed potatoes.

Variations & Tips:

– Experiment with spices like smoked paprika or garlic powder in the meat mixture for added flavor.
– Substitute ground turkey for a lighter version of the steak.
– Enhance the mashed potatoes by adding grated Parmesan or substituting some of the butter with cream cheese for extra creaminess.
