Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium, finely diced onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 4 cups cooked white rice
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the vegetable oil and allow it to warm up for about 1 minute.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks. This should take about 8–10 minutes. Remove the cooked ground beef from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 4–5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, and stir constantly for 1–2 minutes to create a roux. Ensure the flour is mixed evenly with the onion and garlic mixture.
Slowly pour in the beef broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the soy sauce and return the cooked ground beef to the skillet. Mix well to combine, and let the gravy simmer for 8–10 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed.
While the gravy simmers, warm the cooked white rice or prepare freshly steamed rice if needed.
Serve the hamburger gravy over a bed of white rice. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
