Beef Patties

Gravy

Method

Prepare Beef Patties

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and egg. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into oval or round patties.

  3. 3

    Cook Patties

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little oil if desired, and cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until cooked through and browned.

Prepare Gravy

  1. 4

    Sauté Onions and Mushrooms

    In the same skillet used for the patties, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and mushrooms, and sauté until onions are translucent and mushrooms are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 5

    Make the Gravy

    Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed onions and mushrooms, stirring constantly for about 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, and bring to a simmer. Allow the gravy to cook until thickened, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 6

    Season the Gravy

    Season the gravy with salt and black pepper to taste.

Assemble and Serve

  1. 7

    Combine

    Once the patties are cooked, pour the gravy over the patties in the skillet, allowing them to soak up the flavor for a minute.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Serve the hamburger steaks hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired, along with mashed potatoes or rice.
