Tips for Making the Best Hamburger Steaks with Onion Gravy
1. Don’t Overwork the Meat
When mixing the ground beef and seasonings, handle the meat gently to keep it tender. Overworking the meat mixture can make the patties tough.
2. Use Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Freshly ground pepper adds a pop of flavor that complements the beef and gravy perfectly.
3. Let the Onions Caramelize
Cooking the onions slowly brings out their natural sweetness, giving the gravy a deep, rich flavor.
Recipe Variations
- Creamy Onion Gravy: Stir in 1/4 cup of heavy cream to the gravy for a richer, creamier texture.
- Mushroom Onion Gravy: Add sliced mushrooms to the onions for an earthy, robust twist.
- Herbed Hamburger Steaks: Add a teaspoon of dried thyme or rosemary to the beef mixture for added depth.
How to Store and Reheat Hamburger Steaks with Onion Gravy
- Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- Freezer: These patties freeze well! Store in freezer-safe containers for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
Reheating: Place in a skillet over low heat with a splash of water or broth to prevent drying out.
