A juicy and comforting hamburger steak recipe served with rich mushroom gravy, perfect for quick weeknight dinners and family meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds ground beef (80/20)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 8 ounces mushrooms (cremini or white button), sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups low sodium beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Prep the ingredients: finely chop the onion, mince the garlic, and slice the mushrooms thinly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef with salt and pepper. Gently mix and shape into 4 to 6 oval patties about 3/4 inch thick.
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add patties without crowding and cook 4–5 minutes per side until browned and internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Remove patties and tent with foil.
  4. In the same skillet, melt butter and cook onions until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and mushrooms and sauté for another 3 minutes until mushrooms release moisture and brown slightly.
  5. Sprinkle flour evenly over mushrooms and onions, stirring constantly for 1–2 minutes off the heat. Slowly pour in beef broth while stirring, scraping browned bits from the pan. Add Worcestershire sauce and simmer until gravy thickens, about 4–5 minutes.
  6. Return hamburger steaks to skillet and spoon gravy over them. Warm together for 2–3 minutes to meld flavors before serving.

Notes

[‘Do not overmix the ground beef to keep patties tender.’, ‘Save pan drippings for richer mushroom gravy.’, ‘Use fresh mushrooms for best flavor; if using frozen, thaw and drain well.’, ‘Remove pan from heat before adding flour to avoid lumps.’, ‘Season patties and gravy generously with salt and pepper.’, ‘If gravy is too thin, simmer longer or add a flour slurry (1 tsp flour mixed with 1 tbsp cold water).’, ‘If patties fall apart, consider adding an egg or breadcrumbs next time.’, ‘For dairy-free version, substitute butter with olive oil and Worcestershire sauce with coconut aminos.’]
