Ingredients
Scale
For the Hamburger Steaks:
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
For the Onion Gravy:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Hamburger Steaks:
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
- Shape the mixture into 4 oval patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Onion Gravy:
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and caramelized, about 10-12 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour over the onions and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Gradually whisk in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine and Serve:
- Return the cooked hamburger steaks to the skillet with the onion gravy. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through and allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve the hamburger steaks with onion gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side dish.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of red wine or a few dashes of hot sauce to the gravy.
- If you prefer a thicker gravy, let it simmer a bit longer or mix a small amount of cornstarch with water and stir it in.
