Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
  • 1 large egg binder for the patties
  • 1/3 cup bread crumbs plain or Italian
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for frying
  • 2 large onions, sliced
  • 2 cups beef broth good quality
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour to thicken the gravy

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Spatula or turner
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, add ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, pepper, salt, onion powder, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce; gently mix until just combined.
  2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape into oval patties, about 3/4-inch thick, pressing a dimple in the center.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil until it shimmers.
  4. Carefully place the patties in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden brown; flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes.
  5. Remove the patties and set aside; add sliced onions to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for 8-10 minutes until caramelized and golden brown.
  6. Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir constantly for one minute to create a roux.
  7. Slowly pour in the beef broth while whisking continuously to incorporate the roux; bring to a gentle simmer.
  8. Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet, spoon gravy over them, and simmer for about 5 minutes until heated through.
  9. Serve hot, generously topped with onion gravy.

Notes

Don't overmix the meat for tender steaks; mix just until combined. Make sure to achieve a good sear for added flavor and texture. Patience with the onions during caramelization is key for sweet, flavorful gravy. If your gravy is too thick, whisk in more broth; too thin? Use a flour slurry to thicken it. This dish stores well in the fridge for 3-4 days and freezes beautifully for 2-3 months.
