Hamburger Steak with Gravy

By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• Gravy:
• 1 lb. lean ground beef (I actually found that 83/17, while more fatty, makes it a little less tough)
• 1 slice bread, cubed
• 2 Tbsp. milk or water
• 1 egg, slightly beaten
• 1/2 c. chopped onion
• 1 Tbsp. ketchup
• 1 tsp. salt
• dash of pepper
• 1 cup beef or chicken broth
• 3 Tbsp. flour mixed with 4 Tbsp. water
• salt & pepper to taste (though the broth gives it TONS of salt...you may want to consider leaving out the salt)

Preparation

Step 1

Mix bread cubes with milk or water until bread is softened. Mix together ground beef, softened bread cubes and rest of ingredients. Mix well. Form into patties. Pan fry or broil to desired doneness.

Set cooked hamburgers aside while making the gravy. Remove oil, leaving brown particles in pan. Pour broth into pan and heat to boiling; stirring and loosening brown particles. Mix flour with water to make smooth paste. Slowly add to heated broth, stirring constantly, until smooth. Add salt and pepper.

Serve hamburger steak on hot bed of steamed rice, with fried egg on hamburger and smother it with gravy.
