🍔🥩 Hamburger Steak with Gravy (Classic Comfort Food)
This is a juicy ground beef “steak” patty smothered in rich onion gravy—basically a budget-friendly, homestyle version of Salisbury steak.
🧾 Ingredients
🥩 Hamburger Steaks
- 500g ground beef (preferably 15–20% fat for juiciness)
- 1 small onion (finely grated or minced)
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
🍲 Onion Gravy
- 2 tbsp butter or oil
- 1 large onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt & pepper to taste
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Make the patties
- In a bowl, mix ground beef, onion, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, and seasonings.
- Form into oval or round “steak-style” patties.
2. Brown the patties
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook patties 3–4 minutes per side until browned.
- Remove and set aside (they don’t need to be fully cooked yet).
3. Cook onions
- In the same pan, melt butter.
- Add sliced onions and cook until soft and golden (6–8 minutes).
4. Make the gravy
- Sprinkle flour over onions and stir for 1–2 minutes.
- Slowly pour in beef broth while whisking.
- Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Simmer until slightly thickened.
5. Finish cooking
- Return hamburger steaks to the pan.
- Simmer in gravy for 10–15 minutes until fully cooked and tender.
🍽️ Serve
- Serve hot with:
- mashed potatoes 🥔
- rice 🍚
- buttered noodles 🍝
- steamed vegetables 🥦
🔥 Tips
- Don’t overmix the meat—keeps patties tender.
- Let patties simmer in gravy so they absorb flavor.
- Add mushrooms for an extra rich version.
If you want, I can also make a country-style mushroom gravy version, a Cajun spicy hamburger steak, or a slow cooker version.
