Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Hamburger Steaks
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Mix the ingredients thoroughly, then divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for about 4–5 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Set the cooked patties aside.
Step 2: Make the Gravy
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the sliced onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to form a roux. Cook for 1–2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
- Slowly whisk in the beef broth and heavy cream, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to taste.
Step 3: Assemble the Dish
- In a baking dish, arrange the cooked hamburger patties.
- Pour the prepared gravy over the patties, making sure they are generously covered.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the patties are heated through and the flavors have melded together.
Tips for Success
- Add Veggies: For an extra boost of flavor and nutrition, consider adding sautéed mushrooms or bell peppers to the gravy.
- Make It Ahead: You can prepare the patties and gravy in advance, then assemble and bake when you’re ready to serve.
- Crispier Patties: If you prefer your hamburger steaks with a bit of a crispy exterior, sear them in the skillet for a few extra minutes before transferring them to the baking dish.
