Ingredients

Units Scale

For the hamburger steaks:

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, for cooking

For the light gravy:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: sliced mushrooms or onions for added flavor

Instructions

  1. Prepare the hamburger steaks (10 minutes): In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until just combined—avoid over-mixing to keep the patties tender. Shape the mixture into 4-6 oval patties, depending on desired size.
  2. Cook the hamburger steaks (10 minutes): Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are well browned and cooked through. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside on a plate, covering loosely with foil to keep warm.
  3. Make the light gravy (10 minutes): In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, sprinkle in the flour and whisk continuously to create a roux. Cook for about 2 minutes until the roux is golden brown. Gradually whisk in the beef broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Add the soy sauce and black pepper, and continue to whisk until the sauce thickens to a gravy consistency, about 5-7 minutes. If using mushrooms or additional onions, add them with the broth and let them cook within the gravy.
  4. Serve (2 minutes): Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet with the gravy, spooning some gravy over the steaks to coat. Serve hot, ensuring each steak is topped with plenty of the light gravy.

Notes

This juicy hamburger steak is a fulfilling meal that’s sure to bring comfort and satisfaction to your dining table.

For the best results, use fresh, high-quality ground beef and adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.

The gravy can be altered by adding sautéed mushrooms or onions, providing an extra layer of flavor that complements the richness of the meat.

Serve with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or over rice to make a complete meal.
