-
1/4 cup milk
-
1 small onion, finely chopped

2 tbsp all-purpose flour

👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Make the hamburger steaks:
-
In a bowl, soak breadcrumbs in milk for 5 minutes.
-
Add ground beef, chopped onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to combine (don’t overwork).
-
Shape into 4 oval patties.
2. Cook the patties:
-
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
-
Cook patties about 4–5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
3. Make the onion gravy:
-
In the same skillet, melt butter. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and caramelized (about 10–15 minutes).
-
Sprinkle flour over onions and stir well to make a roux; cook 1-2 minutes.
-
Gradually whisk in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce.
-
Simmer until gravy thickens, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Combine and serve:
-
Return hamburger steaks to the skillet, spoon gravy over them, and heat for a couple minutes.
-
Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite sides.
💡 Tips:
-
For extra flavor, add a splash of red wine to the gravy.
-
Use a mix of ground beef and pork for juicier patties.
-
Try adding garlic powder or fresh herbs (thyme, parsley) to the patties.
