Main Ingredients

Method

Prepare the Chopped Steak

  1. 1

    Mix Ground Beef

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well using your hands or a spoon until the spices are evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Shape Patties

    Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick.

Cook the Patties

  1. 3

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook Patties

    Add the patties to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.

Prepare the Mushroom and Onion Sauce

  1. 5

    Sauté Onions and Mushrooms

    In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften. Then add the sliced mushrooms and continue cooking for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms are golden brown.

  2. 6

    Add Beef Broth

    Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Allow to simmer for about 5 minutes to reduce slightly.

Combine and Serve

  1. 7

    Return Patties to Skillet

    Return the cooked chopped steak patties back to the skillet and spoon the mushroom and onion mixture over them. Allow to cook together for 2-3 minutes.

  2. 8

    Add Swiss Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese over the patties and cover the skillet with a lid. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the cheese has melted.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Serve the smothered chopped steak hot, garnished with additional sautéed mushrooms and onions if desired.
