Caramelized onions add sweetness and depth to the dish, while the gravy, made from the pan drippings, ensures every bite is packed with flavor. This dish is perfect for a cozy family dinner and pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a meal that feels like home.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (for gravy)
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Patties:
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties. - Cook the Patties:
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside. - Caramelize the Onions:
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced onions and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the onions and set aside. - Make the Gravy:
In the skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the flour turns a light brown color. Gradually whisk in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Simmer the gravy for 3-5 minutes, or until thickened. - Assemble the Dish:
Return the hamburger patties and caramelized onions to the skillet with the gravy. Let everything simmer together for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the patties to soak up the flavors of the gravy. - Serve:
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve the hamburger steak and onions with gravy over mashed potatoes or alongside your favorite vegetables.
Enjoy this classic Hamburger Steak with Onions and Gravy for a delicious, comforting meal that satisfies with every bite!
