Here’s a classic Hamburger Steaks with Onion Gravy recipe—hearty, comforting, and perfect with mashed potatoes 🍽️🥩🧅
🥘 Ingredients (serves 4)
For the Hamburger Steaks:
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
For the Onion Gravy:
- 2 tbsp butter or oil
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- Salt & pepper to taste
🥄 Instructions
- Make the patties
- In a bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Shape into 4 equal-sized patties.
- Cook the patties
- Heat a skillet over medium heat with a little oil or butter.
- Cook patties 4–5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Make the onion gravy
- In the same skillet, add butter and sliced onions. Sauté until soft and golden.
- Sprinkle flour over the onions and cook 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Gradually whisk in beef broth until smooth and simmer until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
- Combine & serve
- Return patties to the skillet, spooning gravy over them to coat.
- Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
💡 Tips
- For extra richness, add a splash of cream to the gravy.
- Caramelize the onions slowly for a deeper flavor.
- You can make the gravy ahead and just reheat with the patties.
If you want, I can give you a “slow cooker version” where the hamburger steaks simmer in the gravy all day for an extra tender result 😄
Do you want me to do that?
