Hamburger Steaks with Onion Gravy

Components:

Regarding the burgers:

1. 1 pound (450 grams) of ground beef (80% lean is best for juicy texture)
2. 50g/1/2 cup bread crumbs
3. 60 milliliters, or 1/4 cup, of milk
4. 60 grams, or 1/4 cup, finely chopped onion
5. One big egg
6. One tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
7. A half-tsp of garlic powder
8. A half-tsp of onion powder
9. To taste, add salt and black pepper.
10. Two tablespoons of vegetable oil (to cook)

Regarding Onion Gravy:

• One big onion, cut thinly
• Two tablespoons of butter
• one tablespoon all-purpose flour
• Beef broth, two cups (480ml)
• One tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• One teaspoon soy sauce (optional; for a richer hue)
• To taste, add salt and black pepper.

Guidelines:

Get the hamburger steaks ready.

• Ground beef, bread crumbs, milk, chopped onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper should all be combined in a big bowl. Don’t overmix; just combine until just mixed.
• Make 4 equal-sized patties out of the mixture, each about 1/2 inch thick.

Preparing the hamburger steaks:

• In a big skillet, warm the vegetable oil over medium heat.
• Once the patties are well-browned and cooked through to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C), add them to the skillet and cook for approximately 4–5 minutes on each side. After taking the patties out of the griddle, set them aside.

Preparing the Onion Gravy

• Add the butter to the same skillet and melt it over medium heat.
• Add the sliced onions and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring now and again, until the onions are tender and caramelized.
• To make a roux, sprinkle the flour over the onions and simmer, stirring frequently, for one to two minutes.
• Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce (if using), and beef broth gradually. Simmer the ingredients for approximately five minutes, or until the gravy thickens. To taste, add salt and black pepper for seasoning.

Mix and Present:

• Place the cooked hamburger steaks back into the skillet with the gravy made from onions. Drizzle a portion of the gravy onto the burgers.
• Simmer the patties for a further two to three minutes to thoroughly cook them and allow the flavors to combine.
• Serve the onion gravy-topped hamburger steaks over rice, mashed potatoes, or a side salad.

Advice on Making the Best Onion Gravy with Hamburger Steaks:

• Ground Beef: To guarantee juicy and delicious patties, use 80% lean ground beef. Dry patties could come from leaner beef.
• Seasoning: Feel free to taste and modify the gravy’s seasoning to suit your preferences. For added flavor, you can add a dash of spicy sauce, paprika, or a touch of garlic powder.
• Onions: Caramelizing the onions gives the gravy more flavor and sweetness. For the finest outcomes during this process, exercise patience.
• Thickening Gravy: You can add a bit more water or beef stock to the gravy if it gets too thick.
