Ingredients

  • 2 lb ground sirloin
  • 1 medium sweet onion small dice
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko or fresh breadcrumbs)
  • 1 1/2 tsp seasoned salt may adjust to taste
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp granulated garlic
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce or A1 Steak sauce
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • vegetable oil for frying
  • Gravy:
  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 medium sweet onion thinly sliced into wedges
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 2-3 cups low sodium beef stock or beef broth additional as needed to thin
  • 1/2 tsp salt adjust to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/3 cup light cream or half and half
  • chopped Italian parsley for garnishing

Instructions

  • In a medium-size mixing bowl, mix together ground sirloin, 1/2 diced onion, breadcrumbs, seasoned salt, pepper, granulated garlic and onion powder, worcestershire sauce and eggs until fully combined. Divide into 4 even oval shaped portions about 3/4 inch thick.
  • Heat a few drizzles of oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Brown hamburger steaks for around 3-4 minutes per side. Remove to a platter.
  • To make gravy: To the skillet add butter and sliced onion. Cook the onion over medium high for 2-4 minutes until softened and beginning to brown. Scrape any brown bits from bottom of pan. Add flour, salt and pepper stirring to coat.
  • Cook over medium for 1 minute then gradually whisk in stock. Bring to a gentle boil, then whisk in cream.
  • Add hamburger steaks back to the skillet, spooning gravy on top. Immediately lower the heat. Simmer on low uncovered for 5-10 minutes or just until juices run clear.
  • Spoon onion gravy over hamburger steaks and serve garnished with parsley.

Notes

  • Can I Add Mushrooms to the Gravy for Hamburger Steak? Yes, you can. You can add 8 ounces of fresh sliced mushrooms to the onions in the pan cooking until they've reduced and released moisture. Then proceed with the gravy recipe.
  • Can I Make Hamburger Steak Without Gravy? You absolutely can. You can serve these steaks as is, or topped with cheese and sautéed mushrooms, peppers and onions. Or, any of the aforementioned with a side of steak sauce.
  • Protein Substitution: You could make these with ground turkey, ground chicken or ground pork.
