Method

Preparing the Hamburger Steak

  1. 1

    Mix the Ground Beef

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until well incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into an 8oz patty. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach the desired doneness. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Making the Gravy

  1. 4

    Sauté the Onions

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil and the chopped onion. Sauté until the onions are translucent and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.

  2. 5

    Prepare the Gravy Base

    In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. In the skillet with the onions, add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well and bring to a simmer.

  3. 6

    Thicken the Gravy

    Once the broth is simmering, slowly add the cornstarch slurry while stirring continuously. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the gravy thickens. Stir in the butter until melted.

Serving

  1. 7

    Combine and Serve

    Return the cooked patties to the skillet with the gravy, spooning the gravy over the patties to coat. Serve hot with your choice of sides.
