Description
Comforting hamburger steaks topped with a rich brown gravy, perfect for a hearty family meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 recommended for juiciness)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (can use panko for extra crunch)
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter or ghee
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or a gluten-free substitute)
- 2 cups beef broth (low-sodium preferred)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (optional for depth)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: sliced mushrooms, cooked and added to the gravy for extra flavor
Instructions
- Combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix gently but thoroughly.
- Shape the mixture into patties, about 1/2 inch thick, creating a slight indentation in the center of each.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of oil, then add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
- Add butter to the same skillet and let it melt. Stir in the flour and cook for about a minute until lightly golden.
- Gradually whisk in the beef broth, breaking up lumps. Add soy sauce if desired and let the gravy simmer until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper, and add optional mushrooms if using. Return the cooked patties to the skillet, spoon the gravy over them, and let simmer together for another 2-3 minutes.
Notes
Serve over mashed potatoes or rice for a complete meal. Make it gluten-free by using gluten-free breadcrumbs and flour.
