Start by making fresh breadcrumbs: take 1 slice of white bread and cut it into small pieces. Place them in a small bowl and soak with 60 ml of milk for a few minutes until absorbed.
Finely chop 1 large onion and mince 2 cloves of garlic for the hamburger steak mixture.
In a large bowl, combine 500 grams of ground beef, the soaked breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, 1 beaten egg, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Shape the mixture into 4 equally sized oval patties. Set them aside.
Peel and slice the remaining large onion into thin rings.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the hamburger patties and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and keep warm.
Reduce the heat to medium and add 30 grams of butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the sliced onions and cook until they are caramelized and soft, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour over the onions and stir well to coat. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually add 480 ml of beef broth while stirring continuously to create a smooth sauce. Then stir in 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce. Allow the gravy to simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet, coating them with the onion gravy, and let them simmer for another 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Garnish with 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley and serve hot over mashed potatoes or rice with the rich onion gravy.
