HAMBURGER STEAKS WITH ONION GRAVY

by

Hamburger steaks with onion gravy are a comforting, down-home meal that’s hearty and full of flavor. This recipe takes simple ingredients—ground beef, onions, and seasonings—and transforms them into a rich and savory dish. The tender hamburger patties are perfectly seasoned, pan-fried, and smothered in a silky onion gravy that pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes or rice.

Ingredients:

  • For the Hamburger Steaks:
    • 1 lb ground beef
    • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
    • 1 egg
    • 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
    • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
    • 1 tsp garlic powder
    • 1 tsp onion powder
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • 1 tbsp oil (for cooking)
  • For the Onion Gravy:
    • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
    • 2 tbsp butter
    • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
    • 1 1/2 cups beef broth
    • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
    • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Make the Hamburger Steaks:
    • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, finely chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
    • Mix until well-combined. Form into 4 equal-sized patties.
  2. Cook the Steaks:
    • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the hamburger patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Prepare the Onion Gravy:
    • In the same skillet, add butter and sliced onions. Cook the onions over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
    • Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to coat. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
    • Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring, ensuring there are no lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Let the gravy simmer and thicken for 5-7 minutes.
  4. Serve:
    • Return the cooked hamburger steaks to the skillet, nestling them in the gravy. Let them simmer in the gravy for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
    • Serve the hamburger steaks hot with the onion gravy spooned over the top. They’re perfect with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Enjoy your deliciously comforting Hamburger Steaks with Onion Gravy!
