Instructions

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add just enough cooking oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
  • Form your ground beef into patties or hamburger steaks. Create a small indention in the center of each patty.
  • Season each side of the patties with kosher salt, cracked black pepper, and chili powder.
  • Add hamburger steaks to the skillet. Cook each side for 7 to 8 minutes, until browned and cooked through.
  • Near the end of cooking, add sliced onion to caramelize. Finish cooking onions once steaks are done.
  • To make gravy, add flour to the pan drippings and whisk to combine. Add salt and pepper.
  • Cook the flour for 3-4 minutes, then slowly whisk in milk. Continue whisking until thickened, then remove from heat.

Notes

Adjust flour or milk to achieve your desired gravy thickness. Serve hot with mashed potatoes or your favorite side!
