Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup milk
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 egg
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
2 tbsp butter
1 medium onion, sliced
1 cup beef broth
1 tbsp flour
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp thyme
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the hamburger steaks: In a bowl, mix together the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, onion, garlic, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.
- Cook the patties: Heat a generous splash of olive oil in a sizable frying pan over moderate-high heat. Introduce the patties into the pan and let them sizzle for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they achieve a golden-brown crust and are thoroughly cooked inside. Once cooked, carefully transfer the patties from the skillet and place them aside to rest.
- Make the onion gravy: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onions become soft and caramelized. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and cook for another minute, stirring constantly.
- Add the beef broth and seasoning: Slowly incorporate the beef broth while continuously stirring to achieve a velvety smooth consistency for the gravy. Then, stir in Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer, cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the gravy thickens to your desired texture.
- Combine: Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet, spooning the gravy over the patties. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes to heat the steaks through.
- Serve: Serve the hamburger steaks with the onion gravy, and enjoy!
