Hamburger Steak Recipe
A cozy and classic comfort food featuring juicy ground beef patties smothered in savory onion gravy. Perfect for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds ground beef 80/20 lean-to-fat ratio; grass-fed if you can find it
- 1 large egg or flax 'egg' for a plant-based binder
- ½ cup breadcrumbs plain (gluten-free if needed)
- ¼ cup sweet onion finely chopped (for patties)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce optional, adds depth
- ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or butter (for searing)
- 1 yellow onion medium, sliced into rings (for gravy)
- 2 cups beef broth low-sodium
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour or cornstarch for gluten-free
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard adds a subtle tang
- Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Combine ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Gently mix without overworking.
- Divide mixture into four portions and form into oval patties. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
- Sear patties in a hot skillet until golden on both sides. Transfer to a plate.
- Cook sliced onions in the skillet until softened and caramelized.
- Add flour to onions, then slowly pour in beef broth while whisking. Stir in Dijon mustard and simmer until thickened.
- Return patties to the gravy, cover and simmer until cooked through.
- Sprinkle parsley on top and serve over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.
Notes
Don't overmix the beef to keep the patties tender. Use low-sodium broth and adjust salt as needed. Add extra broth or water if the gravy thickens too much.
