Hamburger Steaks with Onion Gravy

 

 

Ingredients:

For the Hamburger Steaks:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ lbs ground beef (85% lean)
4 tablespoons frozen butter, shredded
½ cup yellow onion, very finely minced
2 teaspoons yellow mustard
3 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Gravy:
2 yellow onions, sliced into ¾-inch strings
3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, divided
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup beef broth
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
¼ cup cold water
3 tablespoons cornstarch

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, shredded butter, finely minced onion, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix gently without overworking the meat.
Shape the mixture into 4-5 hamburger steaks.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Add 2 tablespoons of butter and the sliced onions to the same skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and caramelized, about 15 minutes.
Stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter, onion powder, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce.
Pour in the chicken and beef broth, bringing the mixture to a simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the cold water and cornstarch to create a slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry into the simmering gravy until thickened.
Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet, spooning the gravy over them. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve warm with mashed potatoes or rice.
