Ingredients
Scale
2 lb ground beef (80/20)
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 large egg
½ cup whole milk
1 small yellow onion, finely minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1½ cups beef broth
1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
½ cup whole milk
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon dried thyme, optional
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9 × 13-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, minced onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined.
Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape into oval hamburger steaks about ¾ inch thick. Avoid packing the meat too tightly.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the patties for about 2–3 minutes per side. They don’t need to be fully cooked at this stage. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir for about 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the beef broth, then add the cream of mushroom soup, milk, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and thyme. Stir until smooth and gently simmer for 2–3 minutes.
Pour the creamy onion gravy evenly over the browned hamburger steaks, making sure each patty is covered.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the patties reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Spoon plenty of onion gravy over each hamburger steak before serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use a higher fat content ground beef.
Feel free to add mushrooms to the gravy for extra texture.
This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes or rice.
