Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450 g) ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) breadcrumbs (preferably seasoned)
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons (30 g) unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon (15 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (240 ml) beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, onion, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing. Shape the mixture into four equal patties.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked to desired doneness (approximately 160°F/70°C for medium).
  3. Remove patties from the skillet, leaving drippings. Melt butter in the same skillet over medium heat; sprinkle in flour, whisking to make a roux. Gradually add beef broth while whisking, ensuring there are no lumps. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, salt, and pepper; simmer until thickened (about 5 minutes).
  4. Return the patties to the skillet, spoon gravy over, and heat through for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Plate the hamburger steaks with a generous helping of gravy and enjoy!
