Hamburger Steaks with Onion Gravy

Ingredients

• 1½ lb ground beef
• 1 large yellow onion
• 2 cup beef broth
• 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ¾ tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Steps

1. Form the ground beef into 4 oval-shaped patties, about 3/4-inch thick. Season both sides of the patties with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
2. Slice the onion thinly. In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear the hamburger steaks for 4-5 minutes per side until nicely browned. Remove steaks from skillet and set aside.
3. Reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil to the skillet, then add the sliced onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until softened and caramelized.
4. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
5. Gradually whisk in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens.
6. Season the gravy with the remaining 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Simmer for 5 minutes to heat through.
7. Serve hot, spooning plenty of onion gravy over each hamburger steak.
