Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Hamburger Steaks with Onion Gravy:
Ingredients
For the Hamburger Steaks:
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp oil (for frying)
For the Onion Gravy:
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Make the Hamburger Steaks:
- In a bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Mix gently until just combined (don’t overmix).
- Shape into 4-6 oval patties.
- Cook the Steaks:
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.
- Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside.
- Prepare the Onion Gravy:
- In the same skillet, add butter and sliced onions. Cook until soft and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour over onions and stir to form a roux. Cook 1-2 minutes.
- Gradually add beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps.
- Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened.
- Combine & Serve:
- Return hamburger steaks to the skillet with the gravy. Spoon gravy over the steaks and simmer for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
- Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
