Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb ground beef (80/20)
  • 1 cup onion, thinly sliced
  • 0.5 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 0.5 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cup beef broth low-sodium preferred
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (for gravy)

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • In a large bowl combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined; form into 4 even patties.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook 4 to 5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Transfer patties to a plate and keep warm.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add butter to the same skillet. Add the sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Sprinkle flour over the cooked onions and stir to coat; cook 1 minute to remove raw flour taste.
  • Gradually whisk in beef broth, scraping up browned bits from the pan. Add 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, bring to a simmer, and cook until gravy thickens, about 3 to 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet and spoon gravy over them. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes to reheat and meld flavors. Serve hot with mashed potatoes or your preferred side.

Notes

Leftover gravy keeps well refrigerated for 3 days and freezes for up to 3 months. Reheat gently and add a splash of broth if too thick.
