Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 2 Yellow onion
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 tbsp Water
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well using your hands or a spoon, taking care not to overwork the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape them into oval patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
Lightly dredge each patty in 2 tablespoons of the all-purpose flour, ensuring both sides are coated.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the onions, sliced into thin rings, and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and golden brown.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour over the caramelized onions and stir well to cook off the raw flour taste, about 1 minute.
Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to create a smooth gravy. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the gravy to thicken.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the gravy, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until the gravy reaches your desired consistency.
Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy and spooning some gravy over each steak. Simmer for 5 minutes to reheat the steaks and meld the flavors.
Serve the smothered hamburger steaks hot, topped with caramelized onions and gravy. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Enjoy with mashed potatoes or rice!
