Ingredients
Scale
Hamburger Steaks
- 1 1/2 lb ground beef
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons dried minced onion
- 1 teaspoon steak seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper (to taste)
Gravy
- 3 tablespoons butter (divided)
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 14 1/2 ounces beef broth
- Salt and black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the Patties: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, milk, Worcestershire sauce, dried minced onion, steak seasoning, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated. Shape the mixture into 4 round patties, about 3/4-inch thick. Optionally, season both sides of the patties with salt, black pepper, or additional steak seasoning.
- Sear the Hamburger Steaks: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the hamburger steaks and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side or until they reach a minimum internal temperature of 160°F, ensuring they are cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside.
- Make the Mushroom Gravy: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. When melted, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 3 minutes or until tender. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the mushrooms and stir well to combine. After cooking for 1 minute, gradually pour in the beef broth while stirring continuously to create a smooth gravy, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 3-4 minutes until the gravy thickens. Season the gravy with salt and black pepper to your preference.
- Combine and Serve: Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom gravy. Simmer together for about 1 minute to rewarm the patties and meld the flavors. Serve the warm gravy over the hamburger steaks, accompanied by your favorite side dishes.
Notes
- Ensure the hamburger steaks are cooked to at least 160°F for food safety.
- You can substitute beef broth with vegetable broth for a less rich gravy.
- Try adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce to the gravy for extra depth.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or rice for a complete meal.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
