Hamburger Steaks with Onion Gravy

Hamburger Steaks with Onion Gravy is a classic comfort food dish that combines juicy hamburger steaks with a savory onion gravy. It's a hearty and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 large onions, thinly sliced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Chopped fresh parsley for garnish optional

Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, chopped parsley, egg, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Mix until well combined

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into oval or round hamburger steak patties

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat

Add the hamburger steak patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are browned and cooked through

Remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside

In the same skillet, add the thinly sliced onions and cook over medium heat until they become soft and caramelized, about 10 minutes

Sprinkle the flour over the caramelized onions and stir to combine

Cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until the flour is lightly browned

Gradually pour in the beef broth while stirring constantly to prevent lumps

Add Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and pepper

Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes

Return the hamburger steak patties to the skillet, spooning some of the onion gravy over them

Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, or until the patties are heated through

Serve the hamburger steaks with onion gravy hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired
