Oh yes—classic comfort food! Juicy hamburger steaks smothered in rich onion gravy. Here’s a reliable recipe:
Hamburger Steaks with Onion Gravy
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
For the hamburger steaks:
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
For the onion gravy:
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Make the hamburger steaks:
- In a bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Mix gently until just combined; don’t overmix.
- Shape into 4 patties.
- Cook the steaks:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Add a little oil and cook the patties 4–5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Make the onion gravy:
- In the same skillet, melt butter. Add sliced onions and cook 5–7 minutes until soft and lightly caramelized.
- Sprinkle in flour and stir 1–2 minutes.
- Slowly whisk in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
- Combine & serve:
- Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet and spoon gravy over them. Simmer 2–3 minutes to heat through.
- Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
💡 Tips:
- For extra flavor, add a splash of soy sauce or a pinch of thyme to the gravy.
- You can caramelize the onions longer for a sweeter, richer gravy.
- Leftovers reheat well in the same skillet.
If you want, I can give a slow cooker version where the hamburger steaks cook gently in the onion gravy all day—super tender and hands-off.
Do you want me to do that?
