👉Ingredients:

◾️500 g ground beef

◾️2 medium eggs

◾️2 tbsp bread crumbs

◾️1 tbsp olive oil

◾️1/2 tsp onion powder

◾️1/2 tsp garlic powder

◾️1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

◾️2 small onions, thinly sliced

◾️2½ cups beef broth

◾️2 tbsp all-purpose flour

◾️Salt and black pepper, to taste

👉Directions:

▶️1. In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, eggs, bread crumbs, onion powder, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until well combined.

▶️2. Form the mixture into 8 balls, then flatten each one into a steak-like patty.

▶️3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties on both sides until browned. Remove and set aside.

▶️4. In the same skillet, add sliced onions and cook until soft. Sprinkle in the flour and stir well.

▶️5. Slowly add beef broth and a dash of Worcestershire sauce, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens (about 7 minutes).

▶️6. Return the patties to the skillet, cover with the onion gravy, and simmer on low for 10–15 minutes.

▶️7. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles.

👉5 Tips for Best Results:

🔹️1. Use fresh ground beef with a bit of fat for juicy patties—around 80/20 works best.

🔹️2. Don’t overwork the meat mixture when mixing; keep it light for tender patties.

🔹️3. Brown the patties well—this adds extra flavor to both the meat and the gravy.

🔹️4. Want extra flavor? Add a splash of soy sauce or a pinch of thyme to the gravy.

🔹️5. Let it rest: After cooking, let the patties sit in the gravy off heat for a few minutes to soak up all the flavor.

Conclusion:

Simple, soulful, and packed with savory goodness—this Hamburger Steak with Onions and Gravy is the kind of meal that feels like a warm hug. Perfect for a cozy night in or when you want to impress with something classic and satisfying. Try it once, and it just might become a weekly favorite!
