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!
