Ingredients
- Hamburger Steaks
- 2 lbs ground beef (80/20 blend for best flavor)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- Creamy Gravy
- 3 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth (low sodium preferred)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, gently mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, diced onion, salt, and pepper.
- Form mixture into 6–8 oval-shaped patties and set aside.
- Brown patties in an oven-safe skillet for 3–4 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté sliced onions until softened.
- Sprinkle in flour and stir for about 2 minutes to create a roux.
- Slowly whisk in beef broth and heavy cream until the gravy becomes smooth and thick.
- Stir in garlic powder.
- Nestle the browned hamburger steaks back into the gravy.
- Cover tightly and bake for 45 minutes.
- Uncover and bake an additional 15 minutes until bubbly.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Serve with mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, or rice to soak up the gravy.
- Use a Dutch oven or transfer everything to a 9×13 baking dish if your skillet isn’t oven-safe.
- For extra flavor, add sliced mushrooms to the gravy.
