Hamburger steak smothered in brown gravy with mushrooms and onions is a classic and comforting dish. Here’s a simple recipe for you to try:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 egg
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup sliced onions
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Hamburger Steak:
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into oval or round patties, about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.
- Cook the Hamburger Steak:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the hamburger patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
- Prepare the Gravy:
- In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed. Add the sliced mushrooms and onions. Cook until they are softened and browned.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and onions, stirring constantly to coat them in the flour.
- Gradually whisk in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens to make a smooth gravy.
- Combine and Simmer:
- Return the cooked hamburger patties to the skillet, spooning some of the gravy over the top.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Serve:
- Serve the hamburger steaks smothered in brown gravy with mushrooms and onions over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
