Hamburger Steaks with Onion Gravy Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Hamburger Steaks:
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 is ideal)
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)
For the Onion Gravy:
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Hamburger Steaks:
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Form the mixture into 4 equal patties.
2. Cook the Hamburger Steaks:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the hamburger patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
3. Make the Onion Gravy:
- In the same skillet, add the butter and sliced onions. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.
- Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
4. Thicken the Gravy (optional):
- If you prefer a thicker gravy, mix the cornstarch with a little cold water to create a slurry and stir it into the gravy. Let it simmer for a few more minutes until thickened.
5. Combine:
- Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet, spooning the onion gravy over them. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through and meld the flavors.
6. Serve:
- Serve the hamburger steaks with onion gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or with a side of vegetables.
Enjoy!
This dish is comforting, flavorful, and perfect for a cozy dinner!
