Hamburger Steak

Ingredients

• 1 pound of ground round beef
• 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce (I used Lea & Perrins original)
• 1 whole egg
• 1/4 cup of dry bread crumbs (I used Progresso, but you can crumble your own in advance, if you prefer)
• 2 tablespoons of butter (I used Land O’Lakes)
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 2 tablespoons of flour
• 2 cups of water
• 2 teaspoons of beef bouillon granules (substitute 2 cups of Swanson beef broth and leave out the water for a richer gravy)

Preparation

Step 1

Just be sure not to rush the onions or overcrowd the pan when you are browning the patties, and you should have no trouble at all with this recipe. I prefer a richer gravy, so I went with beef broth instead of the water and bouillon granules, but it’s really up to you and your taste preferences. Note also that you don’t have to go with the ultra-ultra lean ground beef here; actually, you want a fat content between 15-20% to give proper flavor to the onions and gravy. I think that this dish goes beautifully with some mashed potatoes (with the gravy spooned over them) and perhaps a small green salad on the side. Enjoy!
