🔪 Instructions

Step 1: Make the Hamburger Steaks

1. In a mixing bowl combine:
   • ground beef
   • chopped onion
   • egg
   • breadcrumbs
   • Worcestershire sauce
   • garlic powder
   • onion powder
   • paprika
   • salt
   • pepper
2. Mix gently until just combined (do NOT overmix).
3. Shape into 4 oval patties, about ¾-inch thick.

Step 2: Cook the Patties

1. Heat oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add the patties and sear 3–4 minutes per side until browned.
3. Remove patties and set aside (they will finish cooking in the gravy).

Step 3: Make the Onion Gravy

1. In the same skillet, add butter and sliced onions.
2. Cook on medium heat for 8–10 minutes until soft and golden.
3. Sprinkle the flour over onions and stir for 1 minute to cook out the raw taste.
4. Slowly pour in beef broth while stirring.
5. Add Worcestershire sauce, pepper, and herbs (if using).
6. Simmer for 4–5 minutes until gravy thickens.

Step 4: Combine & Simmer

1. Add the hamburger steaks back into the skillet.
2. Spoon some gravy over the top.
3. Cover and simmer 10 minutes until patties are fully cooked and flavors blend.

Step 5: Serve

Serve hot with:

• Mashed potatoes
• Rice
• Buttered noodles
• Roasted vegetables

💡 Tips for Perfect Hamburger Steaks

• Use 80/20 beef for juicy patties.
• Don’t press them while cooking—keeps juices inside.
• For richer gravy, add 1 tbsp cream or 1 tsp Dijon mustard.
• Make it spicy: add a pinch of cayenne.
