- 1/2 tsp. black pepper

- 1/2 tsp. onion powder
- 1 clove garlic, minced

Craving a hearty and satisfying meal? These hamburger steaks with onion gravy are the ultimate comfort food! Perfect for a weeknight dinner or a cozy weekend feast, this recipe combines juicy, flavorful patties with a rich and savory onion gravy that will leave you wanting more.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, black pepper, salt, onion powder, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently until just combined – overmixing can make the patties tough. Form the mixture into four equal-sized, thick patties.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and sliced onion to the skillet. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Transfer the patties to a plate and keep warm.
In the same skillet, sprinkle the flour over the onions and drippings. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Season with salt and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened.
Return the patties to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for an additional 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Serve these delicious hamburger steaks smothered in the rich onion gravy alongside your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or buttery noodles. Enjoy!
