Hamburger Steak And Onions With Gravy Recipes

HAMBURGER STEAKS WITH ONION AND MUSHROOM GRAVY

Steps:

• For the hamburger steaks: Whisk together the mustard, smoked paprika, egg, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Mix in the ground beef and breadcrumbs by hand, then form into 4 oval patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
• Set a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat and add the oil. Add the patties and brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the patties to a plate; set aside.
• For the onion and mushroom gravy: Turn the heat down to medium and add the mushrooms and thyme. Cook until the mushrooms release their liquid and are browned, about 8 minutes. (The mushrooms might seem dry at first, but will eventually release liquid and add moisture to the pan.) Transfer the mushrooms to a plate; set aside.
• Melt the butter in the pan, add the onions and garlic and cook until translucent and lightly golden, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring, until the butter and liquid are absorbed, about 1 minute. Pour the broth and Worcestershire into the pan and stir until the flour is dissolved.
• Turn the heat to high and bring to a boil. Stir the mushrooms back into the pan and nestle in the beef patties. Cover with a lid and reduce the heat to medium low. Let simmer until the sauce has thickened and a thermometer inserted into the patties registers 165 degrees F, about 10 minutes.
• Turn the patties over a few times to coat in the sauce. Season with salt and pepper and top with the parsley.

HAMBURGER STEAK AND ONIONS WITH GRAVY

Steps:

• Mix together the ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, pepper, seasoned salt, onion powder, garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce. Form into 4 patties, or as many as you want, depending on how large you want your "steaks".
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties and onions in the oil until patties are nicely browned, about 4 minutes per side, or until done if not making gravy. Remove the patties to paper towels.
• If NOT MAKING GRAVY, continue cooking the onions until they turn golden brown and caramelize. Remove onions and serve atop hamburger "steaks". Stop here!
• If MAKING GRAVY, sprinkle flour over the onions and drippings in the skillet. Stir, scraping up brown bits off the bottom as you go. Gradually add the beef broth and sherry.
• Bring to a boil, then simmer and stir over medium-low heat about 5 minutes, or until gravy thickens. Taste and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper as needed.
• Reduce heat to low, return patties to the gravy, cover and simmer 15 minutes or until cooked through.
