Amish Wedding Steak

Hey there, lovely friend! So, I have to tell you about this delightful dish called Amish Wedding Steak. The first time I made it, well, it was quite the adventure. Imagine me, a novice cook, trying to impress my in-laws. Spoiler alert: I succeeded (sort of) but with a lot of laughter and maybe a tiny bit of smoke coming from the oven… oops! But honestly, the taste was worth every mishap, and now it’s become a bit of a family tradition.

Why You’ll Love This

I whip this up whenever I need to remind my family that I do, in fact, have some cooking skills. They go absolutely bananas for it! Plus, this dish fills the house with such a comforting aroma that I’d make it just for the smell alone (I’m not saying I’ve done that, but I’m not saying I haven’t). It’s perfect for those chilly evenings when all you really want is a hearty meal and maybe a good movie on the couch.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs of round steak (or, on a lazy day, I might use chuck steak)
  • 1 large onion, chopped (I sometimes skip this if I’m in a hurry)
  • 1 can of cream of mushroom soup (my grandma swore by Campbell’s, but any brand will do)
  • 1 cup of beef broth (or a bouillon cube and a cup of water – whatever’s handy)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • A pinch of love (okay, not really, but it helps!)

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (because patience is a virtue).
  2. Cut the steak into serving-sized pieces and season them with salt and pepper.
  3. In a large ovenproof skillet, brown the steak over medium heat. This is where I sneak a little taste of the crispy bits – don’t judge!
  4. Add the onions and sauté until they’re just tender because who likes raw onions in their steak?
  5. Pour in the cream of mushroom soup and beef broth, stirring until it’s all nicely blended. Don’t worry if it looks a bit strange at this stage; it always does!
  6. Cover the skillet and pop it in the oven for about 2 hours. (I usually catch up on some reading or, let’s be honest, Netflix.)

Notes

Here’s a tip I learned the hard way: don’t rush the cooking time. I once tried speeding things up and ended up with steak that was… well, let’s just say my dog was pretty happy!

Variations

One time, I added a splash of red wine to the sauce – it was quite the hit! But I’d avoid using white wine; trust me, it doesn’t work as well (I found out the hard way during a “creative” cooking phase).

Equipment

If you don’t have an ovenproof skillet, no worries! Just brown the steak in a regular pan, then transfer everything to a baking dish. It’ll turn out just fine.

Storage Information

You can store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days, though honestly, in my house, it never lasts more than a day!

Serving Suggestions

I love serving this with some creamy mashed potatoes and a side of green beans. It’s like a hug on a plate. My family insists on having some crusty bread to mop up the sauce – and who am I to say no?

Pro Tips

Don’t skip the browning step. I once tried rushing this step and regretted it because the flavor just wasn’t the same. Take your time here; it’s worth it.

FAQ

Can I use a slow cooker for this? You totally can! Just brown the steak first and then throw everything into the slow cooker on low for about 6-8 hours. Easy peasy.

Is there a vegetarian version? Well, I haven’t tried this myself, but you could substitute the steak with hearty mushrooms and use vegetable broth instead. It might be interesting!

Can I freeze this? Sure thing. I’d recommend freezing the sauce separately form the steak if you can. Just reheat gently to keep it tender.
