Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to create this flavorful masterpiece:

• For the Hamburger Steaks:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

• For the Onion Gravy:

  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons flour (for thickening)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Patties: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, and some salt and pepper. Mix until well blended. Form into 4 oval-shaped patties.

2. Cook the Patties: Heat a skillet over medium heat and gently place the patties in the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are nicely browned and cooked through. Once done, remove them from the skillet and set aside.

3. Sauté the Onions: In the same skillet, add the butter and toss in the sliced onions. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until they are soft and slightly caramelized.

4. Make the Gravy: Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir for another minute. Next, slowly pour in the beef broth, stirring as you go. Add Worcestershire sauce and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes, letting it thicken up a bit. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. Combine: Once the gravy has thickened, return the hamburger steaks to the skillet. Spoon the glorious onion gravy over the patties, and let everything simmer together for another 2-3 minutes for extra flavor.

6. Serve Hot: Enjoy your Hamburger Steaks with Onion Gravy over a bed of mashed potatoes or with a side of green beans for a classic comfort meal!

Cooking Tips

• If you find your gravy a little too thick, just add in a splash more beef broth. You can also substitute it with some red wine if you’re feeling fancy.
• Don’t worry if your sauce looks a little lumpy—it’s all part of the magic!
