Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 0.5 cup unsalted breadcrumbs
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 unit large egg
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 units large onions
- 2 cups low sodium beef broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, dried thyme, and the egg. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Divide the meat mixture into four even portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1 inch thick.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef patties to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and nicely browned. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
Slice the onions into rings. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the sliced onions. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
Pour in the low sodium beef broth and bring to a simmer. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to form a slurry. Stir the slurry into the broth and onion mixture, cooking until the gravy thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet, spooning the onion gravy over each patty. Cover and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with your choice of low sodium side dishes.
