This is my all-time favorite recipe for hamburger steak and onions. If I'm just cooking for me, I skip the gravy (they're very juicy without) and increase the onions because I like extra with every bite! Add the gravy to turn it into a wonderful smothered steak . I found the recipe during a web search and tweaked it. Listed cooking time is for the steaks, onions and gravy. Ingredients:
1 lb ground chuck |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs |
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt |
1/2 teaspoon onion powder |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce, plus an extra dash |
1 cup halved thinly sliced onion |
1 tablespoon oil |
2 tablespoons self-rising flour |
1 cup beef broth |
1 tablespoon dry sherry (don't use cooking sherry) |
salt and pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. Mix together the ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, pepper, seasoned salt, onion powder, garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce. Form into 4 patties, or as many as you want, depending on how large you want your steaks .
2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties and onions in the oil until patties are nicely browned, about 4 minutes per side, or until done if not making gravy. Remove the patties to paper towels.
3. If NOT MAKING GRAVY, continue cooking the onions until they turn golden brown and caramelize. Remove onions and serve atop hamburger steaks . Stop here!
4. If MAKING GRAVY, sprinkle flour over the onions and drippings in the skillet. Stir, scraping up brown bits off the bottom as you go. Gradually add the beef broth and sherry.
5. Bring to a boil, then simmer and stir over medium-low heat about 5 minutes, or until gravy thickens. Taste and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper as needed.
6. Reduce heat to low, return patties to the gravy, cover and simmer 15 minutes or until cooked through.
