Ingredients
Instructions
- Cook minute steaks in a small amount of oil in a large skillet until browned.
- Add drained green beans, canned tomatoes, sliced mushrooms, and chopped onion to the skillet.
- To thicken the sauce, mix a small amount of flour with water to create a slurry and pour into the mixture.
- Cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until the sauce is thickened.
- Pour the mixture into a round baking dish.
- Place 4 or 5 biscuits on top of the mixture.
- Bake until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For a quicker preparation, consider using pre-sliced mushrooms or frozen green beans. If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute the minute steaks with a plant-based protein. You can also add spices like garlic powder or paprika for extra flavor. If the sauce is too thin, add more flour slurry gradually until reaching your desired consistency.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the steak bake hot, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley for a pop of color. It pairs beautifully with a side of Cucumber Salad Dressing for a refreshing contrast. For a heartier meal, consider adding a simple green salad or serving it alongside Jello Rice Salad for a classic American recipes experience.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place in a microwave-safe dish and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until warmed through. Alternatively, reheat in a skillet over medium heat until heated thoroughly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of meat for this recipe?
Absolutely! You can substitute minute steaks with ground beef, shredded chicken, or even tofu for a vegetarian twist. Just be mindful of the cooking times, as different meats will require different durations to cook through properly.
What can I do if I don't have canned tomatoes?
If you don't have canned tomatoes, you can use fresh diced tomatoes or even tomato sauce as a substitute. Just adjust the consistency with a bit of water if necessary, and ensure to season to taste as fresh tomatoes can be less concentrated.
Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the filling a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just assemble the dish with biscuits before baking when you're ready to serve. This makes for a convenient meal option on busy nights!
