Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 cups beef broth
Binding Ingredients:
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
Seasonings and Thickeners:
- ¼ cup onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ¼ cup water
Instructions
- Blend 1 lb ground beef with ½ cup breadcrumbs, ¼ cup finely chopped onion, 1 egg, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and ½ tsp black pepper in a mixing bowl until ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Gently shape the meat mixture into 4 to 5 oval-shaped patties, making sure they are uniform in thickness for even cooking.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium heat (around 350°F) and place patties in the pan without overcrowding.
- Cook patties for 4-5 minutes on the first side until a golden-brown crust develops, then flip and cook an additional 3-4 minutes.
- Transfer cooked patties to a clean plate, leaving the browned bits in the skillet for extra flavor.
- Pour 2 cups beef broth and 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce into the same skillet, scraping up any stuck meat particles from the bottom.
- Whisk 2 tbsp cornstarch with ¼ cup water in a small bowl, then slowly stir into the simmering liquid to create a smooth, thickened gravy.
- Return patties to the skillet, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld and ensure patties are heated through.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef for a healthier version that still has great flavor and juiciness.
- Gently mix the ingredients to prevent dense, tough hamburger steaks that can become dry and chewy.
- Let the patties rest for a few minutes after forming to help them hold together better during cooking.
- For a gluten-free option, replace breadcrumbs with crushed gluten-free crackers or almond flour to maintain the right texture.
