Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds ground beef 80/20 blend
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 medium onion finely diced
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, diced onion, salt, and pepper until just mixed. Avoid overworking the meat.
  3. Form mixture into 6-8 oval-shaped patties about 3/4 inch thick. Let patties rest while preparing gravy base.
  4. Heat large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown hamburger steaks 3-4 minutes per side until golden. Remove patties and set aside, leaving drippings in pan.
  5. Add butter to skillet with drippings. Sauté sliced onions until softened and lightly golden, about 5-6 minutes.
  6. Sprinkle flour over onions and cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly to create a roux.
  7. Gradually whisk in beef broth and heavy cream, stirring constantly until smooth and no lumps remain.
  8. Stir in garlic powder and simmer 1-2 minutes until gravy begins to thicken slightly.
  9. Nestle browned hamburger steaks back into gravy. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
  10. Bake covered for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake 15 minutes more until gravy thickens.
  11. Let rest 10 minutes before serving for perfect gravy consistency.

Notes

  • Use 80/20 ground beef for best flavor and moisture. Don’t skip browning the patties for essential flavor development. Whisk gravy constantly while adding liquids to prevent lumps. Cover tightly during most of baking to keep hamburger steaks tender and juicy. Store covered in refrigerator up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months.
