Description
A classic comfort dish with juicy beef patties and rich onion gravy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, black pepper, salt, onion powder, minced garlic, and Worcestershire sauce until fully combined.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into oval patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the patties for 3–4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the sliced onions. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and caramelized (about 5–7 minutes).
- Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir for 1 minute.
- Gradually stir in the beef broth, whisking to avoid lumps. Bring the gravy to a simmer and cook for 2–3 minutes until thickened.
- Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet, spooning the gravy over them. Cover and let simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the patties to cook through and absorb the flavors.
- Plate the hamburger steaks and top with the onion gravy. Serve hot with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding mushrooms to the onion gravy or using ground chuck for more richness.
