Instructions:
Prepare the Hamburger Steaks:
-
Make the Patties:
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. π₯ -
Form the Patties:
Mix everything together until just combined (donβt overmix). Shape the mixture into 4 patties. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to help it cook evenly. π -
Cook the Patties:
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a little bit of oil. Once hot, add the hamburger patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until they reach your desired level of doneness (internal temperature should be 160Β°F (71Β°C) for medium-well). π₯© -
Remove and Rest:
Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside. You can cover them loosely with foil to keep them warm. π₯
Make the Onion Gravy:
-
SautΓ© the Onions:
In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes, until the onions are caramelized and softened. π§ -
Add the Garlic:
Add the minced garlic to the onions and cook for another 1 minute, until fragrant. π§ -
Make the Gravy:
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to get rid of the raw flour taste. πΎ -
Add the Broth:
Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring to prevent lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce, thyme (if using), and season with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency. π²
Combine and Serve:
-
Return the Patties to the Skillet:
Once the gravy has thickened, return the cooked hamburger patties to the skillet, spooning some of the gravy over them. Let them simmer in the gravy for about 3-5 minutes to absorb the flavors. π -
Serve:
Serve the hamburger steaks with plenty of onion gravy over the top. This dish pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes, rice, or even buttered noodles! π½οΈ
