Tips and Variations
To make the Poor Man's Steak your own, try seasoning the beef with smoked paprika or garlic powder, for example. You can make it leaner by using ground turkey instead of beef. To make the mashed potatoes more fancier, try topping them with grated Parmesan or replacing part of the butter with cream cheese.
