Stuffed Steak
A savory stuffed steak filled with a moist bread and onion mixture, then baked to perfection. Ideal for hearty, comforting dinners and special occasions.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Break the bread into small pieces.
- Pour enough broth or hot water over the bread to moisten it.
- Add eggs, chopped onion, salt, and pepper to the bread mixture.
- Mix well until the mixture is moist but not dry.
- Pour the dressing onto the steak.
- Roll the steak like a jelly roll and tie in 2 to 3 places with kitchen twine or toothpicks.
- Bake in an electric skillet at 350°F for 1 hour or more, until cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For a flavorful twist, consider adding herbs like parsley or thyme to the stuffing. If you don't have broth, water works in a pinch. For a vegetarian version, substitute the eggs with mashed beans or cooked quinoa. Ensure the bread is stale for better absorption and texture. If you want a crispy exterior, sear the rolled steak in a pan before baking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the stuffed steak with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal. It pairs well with mashed potatoes or a hearty grain like quinoa. A rich gravy or a tangy sauce can enhance the flavors, making it a satisfying dish for any occasion. For a lighter option, consider pairing it with Wilma'S Cheddar Cheese Salad.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover stuffed steak can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the steak in a preheated oven at 350°F until warmed through, about 15-20 minutes. For best results, cover with foil to retain moisture and prevent drying out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of meat for this recipe?
Absolutely! While beef is traditional, you can use pork or chicken for a different flavor profile. Just ensure that the cooking times are adjusted according to the type of meat used, as they may vary.
What can I substitute for bread in the stuffing?
If you want a gluten-free option, try using gluten-free bread or cooked rice. You can also use cooked quinoa for a nutritious alternative. Just be mindful of moisture levels to achieve the right consistency.
How do I know when the steak is fully cooked?
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature; it should reach 145°F for medium-rare beef. If you're using chicken, ensure it reaches 165°F. Allow the steak to rest for a few minutes before slicing to retain the juices.
