Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onion

    Slice the medium onion into thin rings.

  2. 2

    Cook the Onions

    In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Burger Patty

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground sirloin, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  4. 4

    Form the Patty

    Shape the mixture into a patty about ¾ inch thick.

  5. 5

    Grill the Patty

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once cooked, remove the patty from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve the hamburger steak topped with the sautéed onions.
