Juicy hamburger steaks smothered in a rich onion and mushroom gravy, a comforting Southern classic perfect for a hearty meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef (80/20)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (for gravy)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined; do not overwork.
- Shape the mixture into 4 oval patties, about 3/4-inch thick.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add sliced onion and mushrooms. Cook over medium heat until softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Sprinkle flour over the onion and mushrooms and stir for 1 minute to cook the flour.
- Gradually whisk in beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Add 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce and dried thyme. Bring to a simmer.
- Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet with any accumulated juices. Spoon gravy over them. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until patties are cooked through and gravy has thickened.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve patties with gravy spooned over the top.
Notes
For extra richness, you can add a splash of heavy cream or a pat of butter to the gravy at the end. Serve with mashed potatoes or rice.
