Ingredients

Scale

For the Hamburger Steaks

  • 2 lbs Ground beef (80/20 blend for best flavor)
  • 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs (Plain or seasoned)
  • 1 Egg (Beaten)
  • 1 Onion (Finely diced)
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black pepper

For the Gravy

  • 3 tbsp Butter (Salted or unsalted)
  • 3 tbsp All-purpose flour (For thickening gravy)
  • 2 cups Beef broth (Low sodium preferred)
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 1 Onion (Sliced)
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Hamburger Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, finely diced onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly incorporated without overworking the meat to keep it tender.
  2. Form Patties: Shape the mixture into evenly sized patties, about 6-8 depending on your preferred portion size. Set aside on a plate while you prepare the gravy.
  3. Make the Onion Gravy: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir constantly for about 2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
  4. Add Liquids: Slowly whisk in the beef broth and then add the heavy cream. Continue to whisk until the gravy thickens and becomes smooth. Stir in garlic powder and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Remove from heat.
  5. Assemble the Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the patties in a baking dish in a single layer. Pour the creamy onion gravy evenly over the top, covering the patties completely.
  6. Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the patties are cooked through and the gravy is bubbling around the edges.
  7. Serve: Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm, ideally with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Use ground beef with at least 20% fat content to keep the patties juicy and flavorful.
  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk, though the gravy will be less rich.
  • Season the gravy to taste, you might want to add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or fresh herbs like thyme for extra depth.
  • Breadcrumbs can be plain or seasoned, but adjust salt accordingly if using seasoned ones.
  • Letting the bake rest after cooking helps the gravy thicken slightly and enhances the flavors.
