Poor Man’s Steak Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil (or butter)
• 4 frozen hamburger patties, thawed
• 2 packets of gravy mix
• Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Directions

1. Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the hamburger patties and sear for approximately 5 minutes on each side, until they are nicely browned.
2. Transfer the browned patties to a plate.
3. Reduce the heat to low and prepare the gravy in the skillet according to the package instructions, mixing with water as directed. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
4. Return the hamburger patties to the skillet, placing them in the simmering gravy. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the patties are fully cooked and the juices run clear.
5. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.

For a more indulgent meal, pair this dish with a side of mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
