Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine stuffing mix and chopped green pepper in a bowl.
- Add hot water and margarine to the mixture; mix well.
- Spoon 1/2 cup of stuffing onto each steak. Roll to enclose filling and secure with toothpicks.

- Mix honey and soy sauce, then pour over the top of the steaks.
- Bake at 375°F for 20 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a flavorful twist, consider adding herbs like rosemary or thyme to the stuffing mix. If you don't have beef round minute steaks, chicken or turkey cutlets could work as a substitute. You can also use leftover stuffing from your holiday meals for a quick and easy filling. Remember to secure the rolls tightly to prevent the stuffing from spilling out during baking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these stuffed minute steaks alongside a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. They pair beautifully with mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the delicious honey-soy sauce drippings. For a heartier option, consider serving with a side of Cabbage Unrolled for a comforting twist.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the stuffed steaks in a baking dish with a splash of broth or water, cover with foil, and heat in a preheated oven at 350°F until warmed through, about 15-20 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these stuffed minute steaks ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the stuffed steaks ahead of time. Assemble them and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Just be sure to cover them tightly to prevent drying out. When ready to bake, they may need an extra few minutes in the oven if coming straight from the fridge.
What can I use instead of honey?
If you're looking for an alternative to honey, maple syrup or agave nectar can be used in equal amounts. For a less sweet option, consider using brown sugar mixed with a little water to create a syrupy consistency. This will still provide a nice glaze for the steaks.
How do I know when the steaks are done cooking?
The stuffed minute steaks are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145°F and are no longer pink in the center. You can use a meat thermometer to check the temperature. If you prefer, you can also cut one open to ensure the stuffing is hot and the meat is cooked through.
