Ingredients

Scale

  1. For the Hamburger Steaks:

    • 1.5 pounds ground beef (80/20 blend recommended for flavor and moisture)
    • 1 egg, lightly beaten
    • ½ cup breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
    • 1 small onion, finely chopped (about ½ cup)
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon black pepper
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter

    For the Onion Gravy:

    1. 1 large onion, thinly sliced
    2. 2 tablespoons butter
    3. 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    4. 2 cups beef broth
    5. 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    6. ½ teaspoon dried thyme
    7. Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Hamburger Steaks:

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until well combined.

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into oval patties, about ¾-inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent bulging during cooking.

Cook the Hamburger Steaks:

Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the hamburger steaks and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F/71°C).

Remove the hamburger steaks from the skillet and set aside.

Make the Onion Gravy:

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.

Sprinkle the flour over the onions and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to create a roux.

Gradually whisk in the beef broth, ensuring no lumps form.

Add Worcestershire sauce and thyme, and bring the gravy to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until thickened slightly.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Combine and Serve:

Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet with the onion gravy. Spoon the gravy over the steaks.

Simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.

Notes

  • Beef Blend: For added flavor, try a blend of ground chuck and sirloin.
  • Onion Types: Yellow, white, or red onions work for the gravy. Vidalia onions add sweetness.
  • Gravy Thickness: Adjust the consistency by adding more broth if too thick or simmering longer if too thin.
  • Make Ahead: The gravy can be made in advance and reheated. The hamburger steaks can also be cooked ahead and gently reheated before serving.
