Ingredients
For the Hamburger Steaks:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil (for searing)
For the Onion Gravy:
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Make the Patties
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined β donβt overwork the meat.
Form into 4 equal-sized patties, slightly flattened.
2. Sear the Patties
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through.
Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with foil.
3. Caramelize the Onions
In the same skillet (with all those flavorful brown bits!), add the sliced onions.
Cook over medium heat for 8β10 minutes, stirring often, until golden and soft.
4. Make the Gravy
In a small bowl, whisk together beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, flour, and water until smooth.
Pour into the skillet with the onions and stir continuously until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
5. Bring It All Together
Return the patties to the skillet, nestling them into the onion gravy.
Spoon the sauce over the top and simmer for a few minutes to heat everything through.
6. Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot!
