Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Ground beef, lean
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 50 g Bread crumbs, unseasoned
- 60 ml Milk, low fat
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Nutmeg, ground
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 200 g Mushrooms, sliced
- 250 ml Beef broth, low sodium
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, low sodium
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Water
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, onion, garlic, bread crumbs, milk, egg, black pepper, and nutmeg. Mix by hand until the ingredients are just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the patties tender.
Form the mixture into four equal patties, about 1 cm thick, and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until they are well-browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and keep them warm.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and sauté the sliced mushrooms until they are soft and golden brown, about 4-5 minutes.
Pour in the low sodium beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Add this to the sauce in the skillet and stir until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
Return the patties to the skillet, coating them with the mushroom sauce. Allow them to simmer in the sauce for a couple more minutes to absorb the flavors.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve the Hamburg steaks hot with your choice of side dishes.
