Okay, I know the term “minute steak” doesn’t sound so appetizing (it is simply a thinly cut and pounded piece of beef, usually cut from the sirloin or round steak) but this one is surprisingly tasty. Plus, I’m on a quest to find fairly healthy ways to use all the “minute steak” cuts from our quarter cow we bought a few weeks ago. So, if you have any additional recipe ideas, I would love to hear them!
This recipe is fairly healthy, as long as you don’t pan fry it in too much oil. I used whole wheat flour to dredge it in, and the only other ingredients are onions, mushrooms, and tomatoes. Pair it with a salad and that is all you need. While I prefer it plain, I actually served this over spaghetti noodles. Next time, however, I think egg noodles would be best.

Cut onion in half and slice into half circle shapes.
Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour.
On high, heat large pan with oil and place steaks in a searing hot pan. Add onions and mushrooms to the pan and cook 4-5 minutes per side.
Remove steaks and toppings from pan and place into a 10×13 baking dish. Pour a can of tomatoes over the top. Place into a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. Serve over angel hair or egg noodles with a salad or steamed broccoli.

I tried this and would do a few things differently next time. First off – I would fry the onions and mushrooms separately from the meat. The veggies got in the way of getting a good brown finish of the steak. Also – I would add some other seasoning in addition to salt & pepper. Perhaps some garlic and oregano would be good. The meal just didn’t have enough flavor.
What exactly is minute steak? I don’t believe I’ve ever seen that cut.
