Ingredients:
- For the Hamburger Steaks:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Onion Gravy:
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
- Prepare the Hamburger Steaks:
- In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into 4 patties.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Onion Gravy:
- In the same skillet, add vegetable oil and heat over medium heat.
- Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 10-12 minutes.
- Stir in the flour and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Gradually add the beef broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add soy sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until the gravy has thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Combine and Serve:
- Return the cooked hamburger steaks to the skillet with the gravy. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through and allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve the hamburger steaks with onion gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side.
