An easy-to-make classic featuring tasty hamburger 'steaks' smothered in gravy and onions. Traditionally served with hot white rice or potatoes, it's a great way to dress up a pound of ground beef and you probably have all the ingredients on hand!
Instructions
Combine the hamburger steak ingredients and form into oval steaks. Refrigerate for 10 minutes and season with salt and pepper.
Heat in olive oil over medium-high heat for 4 minutes/side. Remove and set aside.
Add 2 Tablespoons butter to the pot and soften onions. Add brown gravy ingredients and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer. Whisk in cornstarch + cold water.
Add the patties back to the pan and spoon onion gravy over the top. Cover and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, or until cooked through, the internal temperature should be 160°.
Swirl in the remaining 1 TBS cold butter at the end. This is a chef-inspired finishing technique that adds a velvety finish to the gravy.
Serve over mashed potatoes!
