For the Patties

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Amish Hamburger Steak
  1. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, finely diced onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined to avoid overworking the meat. Form into 6-8 oval-shaped patties and let rest for about 10 minutes.
  2. Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Place the patties in the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes per side until nicely browned. Transfer patties to a plate, leaving drippings in the skillet.
  3. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened. Sprinkle flour over onions, stirring constantly for 2 minutes to create a roux. Gradually whisk in beef broth and heavy cream until smooth and thickened.
  4. Nestle browned patties back into the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in gravy. Cover tightly and transfer to a preheated oven at 350°F. Bake for 45 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
  5. Once baked, remove skillet from oven and let rest for about 10 minutes before serving warm, smothered in gravy with your favorite sides.
