When we think about comfort food, few dishes feel as warm as hamburger steaks with onion gravy. This classic recipe takes basic ingredients and turns them into a delicious treat, perfect for family meals or comforting nights in. Imagine juicy beef patties coated in rich, savory gravy, uplifted by the sweetness of caramelized onions. Whether paired with creamy mashed potatoes or fluffy rice, this dish is bound to warm hearts and fill tummies.
Unlike a simple hamburger, this meal takes a beef patty to a new level. Without a bun, the meat can truly shine, and the onion gravy adds both depth and flavor to each bite. It’s a superb way to turn ground beef into a dish that feels both cozy and unforgettable.
My first taste of this lovely dish was at my grandmother’s home on a chilly autumn night. The memory stands out: the lovely scent of sizzling onions filled the air, creating excitement for the meal ahead. That first bite was like a warm hug, becoming a beloved family favorite. Now, whenever I cook this dish, I travel back to that warm kitchen and those wonderful family times. It is more than just a meal; it’s a bond to those we love and treasured memories.
The classic recipe may not be the healthiest choice, but there are many ways to make it healthier. For a lighter dish, try lean ground beef or even ground turkey. Adding mushrooms or bell peppers boosts the veggie content, increasing fiber and nutrients. If you need a gluten-free version, thicken the gravy with cornstarch instead of flour. These changes let you enjoy the comforting flavors of the meal while keeping your health goals in mind.
This comforting dish is not just a meal; it is an occasion that brings people closer. Whether you’re cooking for your family or enjoying a cozy dinner alone, hamburger steaks with onion gravy blend simplicity and indulgence perfectly. So roll up those sleeves, start cooking, and get ready to enjoy every mouthwatering bite!
To make the Hamburger Steak with Onions and Gravy, you will need the following ingredients:
In a large bowl, mix together 1 pound ground beef, ¼ cup bread crumbs, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, ½ teaspoon seasoned salt, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper until well combined.
Shape the meat mixture into 8 balls, then flatten each ball into a patty.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties and thinly sliced onions until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Keep the patties warm on a plate.
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour over the onions and the drippings left in the skillet. Stir the flour in with a wooden spoon, scraping any bits of beef off the bottom of the skillet as you mix.
Slowly pour in 1 cup beef broth and 1 tablespoon sherry. Sprinkle in ½ teaspoon seasoned salt. Simmer, stirring, over medium-low heat until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low, return the patties to the gravy, cover, and simmer until cooked through, about 15 minutes.
Serve topped with onions and gravy. Enjoy!
