Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1.5 lbs (680 g) ground beef, 80/20
- 8 oz (225 g) mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups (480 ml) beef broth
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 large onions, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Blend 1 ½ pounds ground beef with finely chopped small onion, minced garlic, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, and spice powders. Gently shape the mixture into 4 even hamburger steaks.
- Warm 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet at medium-high heat (375°F). Cook hamburger steaks for 4-5 minutes per side until deep golden brown. Transfer steaks to a separate plate.
- Reduce heat to medium and melt 2 tablespoons butter in the same skillet. Add thinly sliced large onion and sauté for 5 minutes until softened and translucent.
- Introduce 8 ounces sliced mushrooms to the onions. Cook an additional 5 minutes until mushrooms release their moisture and turn golden.
- Dust 2 tablespoons flour over the onion-mushroom mixture. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to eliminate raw flour taste.
- Slowly pour 2 cups beef broth into the skillet, whisking continuously. Scrape up all browned bits from the pan’s bottom.
- Add 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce and ½ teaspoon dried thyme. Allow sauce to simmer and thicken for 3-4 minutes.
- Return hamburger steaks to the skillet. Spoon gravy generously over each patty. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Serve immediately with mashed potatoes, spooning extra gravy over the steaks.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef (80/20) for the best flavor and texture without being too greasy.
- Mix ingredients gently when forming patties to keep the meat tender and prevent tough hamburger steaks.
- Let patties rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking to ensure even browning and consistent cooking.
- For a gluten-free version, replace wheat flour with cornstarch or alternative flour when making the gravy.
