1 egg
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce

2 teaspoons garlic powder

Instructions

Hamburger Steaks

Place all ingredients into a bowl and mix well to combine. Mixing with your hands works best here.
Form mixture into 6 patties.
Spray a heavy skillet with nonstick cooking spray.
Brown each patty on a medium high heat setting for 3 mins per side.
Remove from the pan and set aside.

Onion Gravy

Add the onions to the same pan. Add a little extra oil if necessary.
Sauté until onions start to brown
Add butter and let it melt.
Once the butter melts, whisk in the flour until it’s no longer visible.
Cook, whisking constantly for 1 minute.
Whisk in the beef broth until no flour lumps remain.
Bring to a simmer, whisking until thickened.
Taste and adjust seasoning.
Add the beef patties back into the gravy.
Set heat to medium-low, cover, and allow it to simmer for 20-30 minutes or until patties are 160 in the center.
Remove from heat, cover, and let stand 5-10 minutes.
Serve with mashed potatoes and green beans.

Notes

Storage:

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Freeze for up to 3 months.

Reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warm or in the microwave for one to two minutes at a time.

Tips:

If your burger steak mixture is a little bit too wet, add in some more bread crumbs until it has a consistency that you're happy with.
The internal temperature should be 160 degrees Fahrenheit when you take them off the heat. Let them sit for 5 minutes.
If you want to make this dish ahead of time, brown your patties but wait until you are ready to serve before making the gravy.
