# Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Hamburger Steaks
01 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
02 -
2 pounds ground beef
03 -
2 large eggs
04 -
1 cup Panko or regular breadcrumbs
05 -
1 ounce packet dried onion soup mix, divided
→ Gravy
06 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
07 -
¾ cup all-purpose flour
08 -
Remaining ½ ounce dried onion soup mix
09 -
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
10 -
2 cups water
11 -
1½ cups 2% milk
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Combine ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, and half of the onion soup mix in a large bowl. Mix until just combined, then shape into 4 to 6 patties depending on preferred size.
02 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook, flipping once, until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C), about 6 to 8 minutes per side depending on thickness. Cover skillet with a lid to speed cooking if desired.
03 -
Transfer cooked patties to a plate and set aside. Do not discard the drippings in the skillet.
04 -
Reduce heat to medium and add butter to the skillet. Once melted, whisk in the flour, remaining onion soup mix, and Worcestershire sauce. The mixture will be thick and lumpy—continue whisking to combine thoroughly.
05 -
Gradually whisk in water and milk to the flour mixture, ensuring all lumps dissolve. Cook until gravy thickens and reaches a smooth, velvety consistency.
06 -
Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet, coating them evenly with the gravy. Heat through briefly and serve immediately.
# Extra Tips & Details:
01 -
For faster cooking, form smaller patties as they will cook more evenly and quickly.
02 -
Use a meat thermometer to ensure beef reaches a safe internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
03 -
Cover skillet when cooking patties to retain moisture and reduce cooking time.
