Ingredients for Hamburger Steaks
1 ½ lbs ground beef (80/20 for juicy, flavorful patties)
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 egg
¼ cup breadcrumbs
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil (for frying)
Ingredients for Homemade Onion Gravy
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp garlic powder
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
How to Make Juicy Hamburger Steaks with Onion Gravy
1. Prepare the Hamburger Steak Patties
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Mix gently until everything is incorporated—avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.
3. Shape the mixture into 4–6 thick beef patties, about 1 inch each.
2. Cook the Hamburger Steaks
1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the patties and cook for 4–5 minutes per side, until browned and fully cooked (internal temperature: 160°F / 71°C).
3. Transfer the cooked patties to a plate and keep warm.
3. Make the Flavor-Packed Onion Gravy
1. In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the sliced onions.
2. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden and caramelized.
3. Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir to coat. Cook for 1–2 minutes to remove any raw flour taste.
4. Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps.
5. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
6. Bring the gravy to a gentle simmer and cook for 3–5 minutes, until thick and silky. Add more broth if needed.
4. Serve the Hamburger Steaks with Onion Gravy
1. Return the patties to the skillet and spoon the savory onion gravy over the top.
2. Simmer for 2–3 minutes so the flavors blend beautifully.
3. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve with creamy mashed potatoes, steamed rice, or roasted vegetables for the ultimate comfort meal.
