Hamburger steak smothered in brown gravy with mushrooms and onions

Hamburger steak smothered in brown gravy with mushrooms and onions is a classic and comforting dish. Here’s a simple recipe for you to try:

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 egg
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• 1/2 cup sliced onions
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Hamburger Steak:
   • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
   • Shape the mixture into oval or round patties, about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.
2. Cook the Hamburger Steak:
   • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Add the hamburger patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
3. Prepare the Gravy:
   • In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed. Add the sliced mushrooms and onions. Cook until they are softened and browned.
   • Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and onions, stirring constantly to coat them in the flour.
   • Gradually whisk in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens to make a smooth gravy.
4. Combine and Simmer:
   • Return the cooked hamburger patties to the skillet, spooning some of the gravy over the top.
   • Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
5. Serve:
   • Serve the hamburger steaks smothered in brown gravy with mushrooms and onions over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
   • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Enjoy your delicious and hearty meal!
