📋 Ingredients:
For the Hamburger Steaks:
- 1 lb ground beef 🥩
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs 🌾
- 1 large egg 🥚
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 🌿
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 🧄
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 🧅
- Salt and pepper, to taste 🧂
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 🛢️
For the Onion Gravy:
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced 🧅
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 🧈
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 🌾
- 2 cups beef broth 🥣
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 🌿
- Salt and pepper, to taste 🧂
📝 Instructions:
1. Prepare the Hamburger Steaks:
- Mix ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Form patties:
- Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.
- Cook patties:
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until browned. Remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside.
2. Make the Onion Gravy:
- Cook the onions:
- In the same skillet, add the butter and sliced onions. Cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and lightly caramelized.
- Make the roux:
- Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to eliminate the raw flour taste.
- Add broth:
- Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring to prevent lumps. Add the Worcestershire sauce, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the gravy thickens.
3. Combine and Serve:
- Add patties to gravy:
- Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the onion gravy. Spoon some gravy over the top of each patty. Cover the skillet and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, or until the patties are cooked through.
- Serve:
- Serve the hamburger steaks hot with a generous helping of onion gravy. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables for a complete meal.
🍽️ Tips:
- Add mushrooms: Sauté sliced mushrooms with the onions for extra flavor.
- Make-ahead: Prepare the patties and gravy ahead of time, then reheat on the stovetop when ready to serve.
- Alternative meat: Try using ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version of this dish.
