Step 1: Make the hamburger steaks
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined. 🥩🥚
Form the mixture into 4-5 oval patties, making sure they are all the same size so they cook evenly. 🍔
Step 2: Cook the steaks
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the burgers for 4-5 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked through. 🍳🔥
Place the steaks on a plate and set aside. 🥩
Step 3: Make the onion gravy
In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the thinly sliced onions. Cook over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized. 🧅🧈
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to get rid of the raw flour taste. 🌾
Gradually whisk in the beef stock and Worcestershire sauce, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Continue cooking until the gravy thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. 🍲
Step 4: Combine and serve
Return the hamburger steaks to the pan and simmer in the onion gravy for 2-3 minutes. Spoon the gravy over the steaks to coat them completely. 🥩🧅
Garnish with chopped parsley if you want a pop of color and freshness. 🌿
Serve the steaks hot with your favorite side dish, such as mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, or roasted vegetables. 🥔🍜
