Servings
- Serves: 4
Ingredients
- Hamburger Steaks:
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for frying)
- Onion Gravy:
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Hamburger Steaks:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Onion Gravy:
- In the same skillet, add the unsalted butter and sliced onions. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
- Gradually add the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Combine and Serve:
- Return the cooked hamburger steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the onion gravy. Spoon some of the gravy over the top of the steaks.
- Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through and allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve:
- Serve the hamburger steaks hot with a generous portion of onion gravy over the top. They pair well with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
Tips
- Meat Variations: You can use a mixture of ground beef and pork for a different flavor.
