Instructions
-
Make the Hamburger Steaks:
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until just combined.
- Form the mixture into 4 oval patties.
-
Cook the Steaks:
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
-
Make the Gravy:
- In the same skillet, add sliced onions. Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and golden.
- Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir, cooking for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
- Slowly pour in the beef broth (and chicken broth if using), stirring constantly. Add Worcestershire sauce, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, until thickened.
-
Combine and Simmer:
- Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Spoon some gravy over the top of each steak. Cover and simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the steaks are cooked through.
-
Serve:
- Serve hot with mashed potatoes or buttered noodles, and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
- Add Mushrooms: Sauté sliced mushrooms with the onions for a richer gravy.
- Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stove.
