A comforting and easy hamburger steak recipe served with a rich, creamy mushroom onion gravy. Perfect for quick weeknight dinners with simple ingredients and hearty flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for juiciness)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (plain or panko)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil, for cooking
  • 8 oz cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
  • 2 cups beef broth or stock (low sodium preferred)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Form into four oval-shaped patties about 3/4-inch thick. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook 4-5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through (internal temperature 160°F). Remove patties and tent with foil to keep warm.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the same skillet and melt. Add sliced onions and mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and mushrooms browned, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle flour evenly over mushroom and onion mixture. Stir well and cook 1-2 minutes to remove raw flour taste.
  5. Gradually whisk in beef broth, add thyme, and simmer for about 5 minutes until gravy thickens. Stir in heavy cream and season with salt and pepper. Adjust consistency with more broth or cream if needed.
  6. Return hamburger steaks to skillet, spoon gravy over them, and warm for 2-3 minutes. Serve hot with preferred sides.

Notes

Do not overmix the meat mixture to keep patties tender. Cook patties in batches if needed to avoid crowding the pan. For smoother gravy, use an immersion blender after adding broth. For gluten-free, substitute breadcrumbs and flour accordingly. For dairy-free, substitute butter with olive oil and cream with coconut milk.
