Ingredients
Scale
Steaks
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup bread crumbs
- 1 egg
- 4 tablespoons butter, divided
Sauce
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup sweet onion, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1½ tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the meat mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, salt, bread crumbs, and egg. Mix gently with your hands or a spoon until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
- Form patties: Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about ¾-inch thick. Set aside on a plate.
- Cook the steaks: Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for about 4–5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove the steaks from the pan and keep warm.
- Make the mushroom and onion sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the sliced mushrooms and sweet onions. Sauté until softened and golden, about 5–7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Thicken the gravy: Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for 1–2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in the beef broth until smooth and combined.
- Simmer the sauce: Add Worcestershire sauce, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Combine and serve: Return the cooked hamburger steaks to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to coat. Heat through for 2–3 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- For a crispier crust, you can sear patties on high heat quickly before reducing the heat to finish cooking.
- Feel free to add a splash of red wine or balsamic vinegar to the sauce for added depth of flavor.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or over rice for a complete meal.
- Leftover hamburger steaks can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
