Smothered steak is a dish where a steak is covered in a sauce, often mushroom, and served with a starch and vegetable. It can be simmered or served with gravy and is commonly made with round or cubed steak. Burgers can also be served in a similar way.
Smothered steak is a dish that includes a steak that is completely covered in some kind of sauce. One of the most common types of sauce used to cover a smothered steak is a mushroom sauce. A smothered steak dish is usually served alongside a starch such as a potato or rice dish and a steamed or creamed vegetable such as creamed spinach or a vegetable medley consisting of carrots, green beans, and peas. Almost any type of steak can be used to make this dish, but it’s quite common to use round steak or cubed steak.
Sometimes a smothered steak is simmered steak in a pan along with the ingredients that will be used to make the sauce. This is a great way to add flavor to the steak. When the liquid and ingredients in the pan are reduced enough, they can simply be served over the steak. This is a common way to serve tough cuts of meat because the simmering process helps tenderize the steak. The same process can be completed in a slow cooker or stockpot.
A smothered steak can also be simply served as a steak topped with gravy. This is especially popular when the steak will be served with mashed potatoes, which go well with gravy. When smoked steak is served this way, it is commonly accompanied by corn on the cob or green beans as a side. Sometimes gravy smothered steak is prepared as a chicken fried steak in which a tender steak is breaded and fried before it is covered in gravy and served with accompanying sides.
Sometimes burgers are served similar to the smothered steak recipe. When this is done, the burger is served on an open-faced bun with gravy or sauce that covers the entire burger patty and possibly the bun as well. The sauces that are used in this type of dish are similar to the types of sauces that are used in smothered steak and are usually made with onions and perhaps mushrooms or peppers and gravy. Like the steak platter, this type of burger is almost always served with a side of potatoes prepared like fries. The burger, however, may not come with a side of vegetables other than the tomato, lettuce, and onion that are served on the bun.
