Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (80% lean preferable for juicy hamburger patties)
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika or cayenne pepper for extra flavor
- For the gravy (optional): 1/2 cup beef broth and 1 tablespoon flour or cornstarch
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, chopped onions, egg, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and optional spices. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated.
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape into 3/4 inch thick patties, ensuring even thickness for uniform cooking.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil. Cook each hamburger patty about 4-5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. For extra flavor, sear until golden before making gravy.
- In the same skillet, pour in beef broth and scrape up browned bits. Mix flour or cornstarch with water to create a slurry and stir into the skillet to thicken. Pour gravy over cooked hamburger steaks.
- Serve hot, topped with gravy alongside mashed potatoes, vegetables, or fries. Garnish as desired for a hearty, comforting meal.
Notes
- Ensure the patties are even in thickness for uniform cooking.
- For extra flavor, add sautéed mushrooms or melted cheese on top.
- If making ahead, shape patties and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before cooking.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in microwave or skillet with a splash of broth.
