Hamburger steaks are seasoned beef patties seared in butter and then simmered in a simple gravy with sauteed onions and mushrooms. It is an affordable, old-fashioned comfort meal that is easy to make on a weeknight. Serve it with mashed potatoes, rice or buttered noodles.

Hamburger Steaks with Mushroom Onion Gravy

Preparation Steps

1Step 1

Mix the ground beef with the chopped onion, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper until just combined. Shape into 4 patties about 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick.

2Step 2

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the patties for 4 to 5 minutes per side until well browned. Move them to a plate; they will finish cooking in the gravy.

3Step 3

Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet, then the sliced onion and mushrooms. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often, until soft and golden.

4Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir for 1 minute.

5Step 5

Slowly pour in the beef broth, stirring and scraping up the browned bits, until the gravy thickens. Add more broth a little at a time until it is as thick as you like, and season with salt and pepper.

6Step 6

Return the patties to the skillet, spoon the gravy over them, cover and simmer over low heat for 5 to 7 minutes, until the patties reach 160°F (71°C) in the center. Serve hot.

Tips & Variations

Make the patties slightly wider than you want them; they shrink as they cook.
Add a splash of soy sauce or a pinch of thyme to the gravy for a deeper, more savory flavor.
Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days. Reheat covered on the stove with a splash of broth until steaming hot.
