Equipment
- Skillet For cooking the patties and making the gravy.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.25 pounds ground beef (90% lean)
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup dried breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups beef broth can be substituted with chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley to garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, gently mix the ground beef with the egg, breadcrumbs, diced onion, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Avoid overworking the meat to ensure tender patties. Shape into 4-5 oval patties about ½ inch thick.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 5 minutes on each side until browned and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Transfer the cooked patties to a plate, cover with foil, and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter. Sauté the mushrooms and thinly sliced onions for 4-5 minutes until the onions turn translucent. This enhances their sweetness and flavor.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds to release its aroma.
- Sprinkle flour into the skillet and cook for another 30 seconds while stirring to eliminate the raw flour taste. Gradually pour in the beef broth while whisking to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a boil, then simmer for 3 minutes until the sauce thickens to a glaze-like consistency.
- Season the gravy with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper for added flavor.
- Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet, spoon the gravy over them, and cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve the hamburger steaks with mushroom gravy over mashed potatoes, accompanied by steamed broccoli or green beans for a complete meal.
