Growing up, this was the meal my grandmother would make on special Sunday evenings. I remember watching her expertly stir the gravy as she hummed softly, the whole kitchen filled with warmth and love. Now, every time I make this recipe, I’m transported back to those cozy evenings, and I hope it can bring a little bit of that magic to your table, too.

Preparation Method (Hamburger Steak)

Step One: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, and shape into 4-6 equal-sized patties.

Step Two:Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side until they are beautifully browned. Remove and set aside.

Step Three: In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and sauté until softened and lightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

Step Four: Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir well. Gradually pour in the beef broth while stirring to create a smooth gravy.

Step Five: Return the patties to the skillet, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the patties are cooked through and the gravy thickens.

Step Six: Serve hot with mashed potatoes or steamed rice, spooning the savory onion gravy generously over the top.

Variations and Customizations
