HAMBURGER STEAK WITH CREAMY ONION GRAVY



Hamburger Steak with Creamy Onion Gravy image

Tried this with my family and they really liked it.

Provided by Debbie Gurley

Categories     Burgers

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 lb ground chuck
3/4 c chopped onion
1 egg
1 Tbsp salt and pepper
1/3 c of all purpose flour, for dipping the patties in
1/4 c vegetable oil
1 large onion
1 c beef broth
1 c water
1/4 tsp of seasoned salt
1/4 c of all purpose flour, for the gravy
2 c sliced mushrooms, optional
1 tsp garlic powder

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the oil over medium high in a large heavy-bottomed stainless skillet.
  • 2. In a medium sized bowl, combine the ground chuck, chopped onion, egg, seasoned salt, garlic powder and pepper.
  • 3. Shape into 4 to 6 equal sized patties. Dip each patty into the flour and cook until browned on both sides; remove and set those aside.
  • 4. Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook over medium heat until lightly caramelized, stirring regularly. Add Mushrooms if so desired. Whisk together the beef broth and water with 1/4 cup of flour, 1/2 teaspoon of seasoned salt and pepper to taste until well combined. Pour into the skillet with the onions and stir constantly, until mixture begins to thicken.
  • 5. Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet, turn to coat, add sliced mushrooms if using, and reduce heat to simmer. Cook, covered, for about 20 minutes longer. Serve with mashed potatoes and some green beans, or a mixed garden salad on the side.
  • 6. Cook's Notes: The brown gravy for these is pretty good all on its own since its reliant on the pan drippings, but if you have it, just a splash of Kitchen Bouquet adds a bit more depth and is delicious. If you find that you need a binder, add in some fresh bread crumbs to the ground beef. If using pre-made hamburger steak patties, omit the onion, egg and hot sauce, and sprinkle both sides of the patties with the seasoned salt, garlic powder and pepper, pressing in the seasoning a bit. Then dip each patty in the flour and proceed with the remaining recipe.

CREAMY ONION GRAVY



Creamy Onion Gravy image

This creamy onion gravy gets its sour tang from buttermilk. Use with mashed potatoes, or as we had them when I was a child, German dumplings. Leftover cooking water from potatoes is best, but regular water will do.
