Hamburger Steaks with Onion Gravy

Instructions

1. Prepare the Hamburger Steaks:
   • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, egg, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.
   • Form the mixture into 4 oval patties.
2. Cook the Hamburger Steaks:
   • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the hamburger steaks and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
3. Make the Onion Gravy:
   • In the same skillet, add the butter and sliced onions. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the onions are caramelized and golden brown.
   • Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to combine. Cook for an additional minute.
   • Gradually pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until it thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Combine:
   • Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet, spooning the gravy over the patties. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat everything through.
5. Serve:
   • Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve the hamburger steaks with onion gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side.
