Smothered Hamburger Steak Recipe

Ingredients

• For the Hamburger Steaks:
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 recommended)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
• For the Gravy:
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 cups beef broth (or stock)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Hamburger Steaks:
   • In a bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
   • Shape the mixture into 4 oval patties.
2. Cook the Patties:
   • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
3. Make the Gravy:
   • In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and cook until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
   • Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to coat. Cook for an additional minute.
   • Gradually whisk in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
4. Combine:
   • Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet, spooning the gravy over the top. Cover and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.
5. Serve:
   • Serve the smothered hamburger steaks with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side, spooning extra gravy over the top.
