🍽️ Hamburger Steaks with Onion Gravy
Ingredients (serves 4)
For the Hamburger Steaks:
-
1 lb ground beef (80/20 for best flavor)
-
1 small onion, finely chopped
-
1 clove garlic, minced
-
½ cup breadcrumbs
-
1 large egg
-
½ tsp salt
-
¼ tsp black pepper
-
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
-
1 tbsp oil (for frying)
For the Onion Gravy:
-
1 large onion, thinly sliced
-
2 tbsp butter
-
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
-
2 cups beef broth
-
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Make the Hamburger Steaks
-
In a bowl, combine ground beef, chopped onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently but thoroughly.
-
Form into 4 equal-sized oval patties.
2. Cook the Patties
-
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
-
Add the patties and cook about 4–5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
3. Make the Onion Gravy
-
In the same skillet, melt butter. Add sliced onions and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until soft and golden brown (about 10–12 minutes).
-
Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir well to combine. Cook for 1–2 minutes to get rid of raw flour taste.
-
Gradually whisk in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce.
-
Bring to a simmer and cook until gravy thickens, about 3–5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Combine & Serve
-
Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet and spoon gravy over them.
-
Let simmer together for 2–3 minutes to meld flavors.
-
Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles.
Tips
-
For extra flavor, add a splash of soy sauce to the gravy.
-
You can add mushrooms to the gravy for a variation.
-
If you want thicker gravy, add a bit more flour or reduce the broth.
