Recipe Story: This recipe was served in the beautiful Outdoor Rainbow Terrace at the Old Covered Wagon Inn. It’s located in the area of the Valley Forge State Historical Park.  Covered Wagon Inn in Strafford, PA was built around 1780 as a way station for travelers and commercial traffic on the busy road between Philadelphia and Lancaster.

The term “Hamburger steak” appeared in the 1800s, as German immigrants brought the concept to the United States. By 1834, chopped meat dishes were noted in American culinary records. Starting from the 1920s, diners and roadside eateries popularized the dish, cementing its status as comfort food. By the mid-1900s, the rise of fast-food chains incorporated chopped steak into hamburgers, further promoting its appeal.

Today, restaurants from family diners to upscale establishments feature chopped steak on their menus, often enhancing it with gourmet ingredients.

It will appear under many different names like Hamburger Steak, Salisbury Steak, Steak Diane, or Chopped Steak with Blue Cheese.
