Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef 80/20 recommended
  • 1/3 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Patties:In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and form into 4 equal-sized patties.
  2. Cook the Patties:Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté Onions:In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter. Add sliced onions and cook for about 7-8 minutes until softened and golden.
  4. Make the Gravy:Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir well to coat. Slowly pour in beef broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Let it simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened.
  5. Combine & Finish:Return the cooked hamburger steaks to the skillet. Spoon gravy over them, cover, and let simmer for another 10 minutes until the patties are cooked through.
  6. Serve:Serve hot over mashed potatoes or rice, garnished with parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Meat Options: You can use ground turkey or chicken as a leaner alternative.
  • Thicker Gravy: Add more flour or let the gravy simmer longer to thicken.
  • Make-Ahead: The patties and gravy can be prepped a day ahead and reheated.
  • Pairing Suggestion: Best served with creamy mashed potatoes, steamed green beans, or a fresh salad
