Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 2 tsp Cajun seasoning
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 1 medium Onion (sliced thinly)
- 1 medium Green bell pepper (sliced into strips)
- 1.5 cup Beef broth
- 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Cajun seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form them into oval-shaped hamburger steaks. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the hamburger steaks and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside, keeping them warm.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil and butter. Once the butter melts, add the sliced onion and bell pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized.
Sprinkle the flour over the cooked vegetables and stir well to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the beef broth while constantly stirring to create a smooth gravy. Increase the heat slightly and simmer the gravy for 3-5 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet and spoon some of the gravy over them. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the Cajun Hamburger Steaks hot, topped with the onion and bell pepper gravy. Pair with mashed potatoes, steamed rice, or your favorite side dish.
