Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean ground beef
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 Large onion, sliced
- 2 cups Low sodium beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine lean ground beef, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the ground beef.
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty, about 3/4-inch thick.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the hamburger steaks to the skillet and cook until they are browned on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked steaks to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion. Cook and stir the onions over medium heat until they are soft and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
Add low sodium beef broth to the skillet with the onions. Bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet.
In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir this slurry into the onion and broth mixture in the skillet.
Continue to cook the gravy, stirring constantly, until it thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet. Spoon the onion gravy over the steaks, covering them well.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the steaks simmer in the gravy for an additional 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
