Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Meat Mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined but do not overmix.
Step 2: Form the Patties
Divide the meat mixture into equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty, roughly 1 inch thick.
Step 3: Cook the Patties
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of oil. Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
Step 4: Prepare the Onion Gravy
Remove the cooked patties from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add more oil if needed and sauté sliced onions until they become golden brown.
Step 5: Make the Gravy
Stir in flour to the sautéed onions and cook for a minute. Gradually add beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Cook until the gravy thickens.
Step 6: Combine the Patties and Gravy
Return the cooked patties to the skillet with the gravy. Simmer for a few minutes to heat through and allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 7: Serve
Serve the hamburger steaks topped with the onion gravy alongside your favorite sides.
