Ingredients
Scale
For the Hamburger Steaks:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
For the Onion Gravy:
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Hamburger Steaks: In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Form into 4-5 oval-shaped patties.
- Cook the Steaks: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Set aside.
- Prepare the Onion Gravy: In the same skillet, add butter and sliced onions. Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, until caramelized. Sprinkle in flour and stir for 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until the gravy thickens (about 3-4 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.
- Combine and Serve: Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet, spooning the gravy and onions over the top. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot!
Notes
- For extra richness, swap out vegetable oil for butter when frying the steaks.
- You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
- To thicken the gravy further, let it simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes or stir in a slurry of 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water.
