Ingredients:

For the Hamburger Steaks:

  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Onion Gravy:

  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Hamburger Steaks:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, diced onion, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
    • Divide the mixture into equal-sized portions and shape them into oval-shaped patties.
  2. Cook the Hamburger Steaks:
    • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil.
    • Place the hamburger steaks in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Make the Onion Gravy:
    • In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook over medium heat until softened and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.
    • Push the onions to the side of the skillet and add the butter or olive oil to the empty space. Sprinkle the flour over the butter/oil and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
    • Gradually pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
    • Continue to cook the gravy until thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
