Herb Roasted Baby Potatoes

Crispy Onions

Method

Hamburger Steak

  1. 1

    Prepare the Hamburger Steaks

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined. Form into 4 patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Hamburger Steaks

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Mushroom and Herb Gravy

  1. 3

    Make the Gravy

    In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until browned. Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir to combine. Gradually add beef broth, stirring constantly until thickened. Stir in thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper.

Sauteed Broccolini

  1. 4

    Sauté the Broccolini

    In another skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add broccolini and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Herb Roasted Baby Potatoes

  1. 5

    Roast the Potatoes

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, toss halved baby potatoes with olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Crispy Onions

  1. 6

    Fry the Onions

    Dredge thinly sliced onions in flour and season with salt. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the onions until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assembly

    Plate the Dish

    On a plate, place the hamburger steak, top with mushroom and herb gravy, add a side of sautéed broccolini and roasted baby potatoes. Garnish with crispy onions on top.
