Ingredients

For the Hamburger Steak

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 small brown or white onion , grated or finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tsp yellow mustard
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • salt , to taste
  • cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 1 ½ tbsp olive oil, for frying

For the Onion & Mushroom Gravy

  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 2 tbsp butter, divided
  • 1 brown or white onion, sliced
  • salt , to taste
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 1 ¼ cups low sodium beef broth
  • ½ tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Combine all the ingredients for the hamburger steak in a large bowl and season generously with  salt and pepper. Shape into 8 patties and chill in the fridge while you prepare the ingredients for the gravy.
  • Heat the oil in a large, lidded non-stick frying pan or shallow casserole over a medium high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, working in batches, brown the hamburger steaks on each side. Set aside.
  • Add 1 tbsp of the butter and cook the mushrooms until browned. Remove with a slotted spoon, and set aside.
  • Reduce the heat to low, and add the rest of the butter. Add the onion along with a generous pinch of salt and gently fry for 10-15 minutes until soft and a very pale brown. 
  • Stir in the flour and cook for a minute. Gradually stir in the beef broth, followed by the Worcestershire sauce. Stir the mushrooms back into the pan and allow the gravy to simmer, uncovered for 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 
  • Arrange the hamburger steaks in the gravy. Turn the heat up to medium and simmer, with the lid on, for 10 minutes until just cooked through. 
  • Serve with mashed potatoes and chopped parsley, if liked.

Notes

Mushrooms: You can easily omit the mushrooms from the gravy if preferred!
