Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Form into 4 equal-sized oval patties.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, until well-browned. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add the sliced onions to the same skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until softened and caramelized. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Gradually pour in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Bring the gravy to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the butter until melted.
- Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Simmer for 5-7 more minutes, until the steaks are cooked through and the gravy is rich and flavorful. Serve hot.
