Ingredients
Hamburger Steaks
- 1 lb ground beef 80/20 blend for juiciness
- 1 large egg acts as a binder
- ¼ cup breadcrumbs keeps the steaks from falling apart
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
Gravy
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups beef broth
- 1 tsp soy sauce adds depth
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- ½ onion sliced
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Mix until just combined, don’t overwork the meat. Shape the mixture into four equal-sized patties and slightly flatten them.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a little butter or oil.
- Place the patties in the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until browned. Remove the patties from the pan and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter and add sliced onions. Sauté until soft and caramelized.
- Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Gradually whisk in the beef broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Add soy sauce and thyme, then simmer for 5 minutes until the gravy thickens.
- Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet, coating them with the gravy. Reduce the heat and let everything simmer for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
Notes
For extra gravy, double the beef broth and seasonings. For a keto-friendly version, replace breadcrumbs with almond flour.
