Burger Steak Recipe

Burger Steak - Directions

1. 1

   Prepare patty mixture

   In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with hands or a fork until just combined; avoid overworking the meat to keep patties tender.

2. 2

   Shape patties

   Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Gently shape into patties about 3/4 inch thick. Create a shallow indent in the center of each patty to prevent doming during cooking.

3. 3

   Chill patties (optional)

   Refrigerate patties for 15 minutes to firm up for even cooking and easier handling.

4. 4

   Sear patties

   Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until deeply browned. Remove patties from skillet and tent with foil to keep warm.

5. 5

   Make onion gravy

   In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux. Gradually whisk in beef broth until smooth and slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.

6. 6

   Finish cooking in gravy

   Return the patties to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to reheat and let flavors meld.

7. 7

   Serve

   Spoon onion gravy over the burgers and serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
