Instructions
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, egg, Worcestershire sauce, breadcrumbs, milk, seasoned salt, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix gently till everything blends well but don’t overwork the meat.
- Shape the mixture into 4 to 6 oval patties, try to keep them equal size so they cook evenly.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add your hamburger patties and sear each side 5 to 6 minutes till browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, toss in sliced onions and cook till soft and caramelized, around 10 minutes, stirring now and then so they don’t burn.
- Sprinkle flour over caramelized onions and stir well to coat everything. This thickens the gravy later.
- Slowly pour beef broth into skillet while stirring constantly. This makes a smooth gravy that thickens after simmering about 5 minutes.
- Put hamburger steaks back into skillet with gravy. Simmer everything on low heat for 5 extra minutes so the flavors marry.
- Serve hot with mashed potatoes or rice and enjoy.
Notes
Serve hot over mashed potatoes or rice for a comforting weeknight meal. Leftovers keep well refrigerated or frozen.
