Southern-Style Hamburger Steak
This Southern-style hamburger steak is a comfort food classic that’s rich, flavorful, and perfect for any family meal. Ground beef patties are cooked in a savory gravy made with beef broth and onions, making a hearty, satisfying dish that pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes or rice.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Prepare the patties:
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
- Shape the mixture into 4-6 patties, depending on your preferred size.
2. Cook the patties:
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the 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 them aside.
3. Make the gravy:
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onions and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to combine, allowing the flour to cook for 1 minute to make a roux.
- Gradually add the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add the Worcestershire sauce and stir until the gravy thickens.
4. Simmer the patties:
- Return the cooked patties to the skillet with the gravy. Spoon some of the gravy over the patties and simmer on low heat for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
5. Serve:
- Once the gravy has thickened and the patties are fully cooked, remove from heat and serve hot, spooning the gravy and onions over the patties.
