Instructions:
1. Prepare the hamburger steaks: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Shape the hamburger steaks: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into oval-shaped patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
3. Cook the hamburger steaks: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the hamburger steaks to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the cooked steaks from the skillet and set them aside.
4. Prepare the onion gravy: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook until they are soft and caramelized, stirring occasionally. This process may take about 10-15 minutes.
5. Make the roux: Sprinkle the flour over the caramelized onions and stir well to coat them. Cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly.
6. Add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce: Gradually pour the beef broth into the skillet, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Add the Worcestershire sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue stirring until the gravy thickens.
7. Simmer and finish the gravy: Reduce the heat to low and let the gravy simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. If the gravy becomes too thick, you can add more beef broth to achieve the desired consistency.
8. Serve: Place the hamburger steaks on a serving platter and pour the onion gravy over the top. You can serve them with mashed potatoes, rice, or your preferred side dishes.
This hamburger steak with onion gravy recipe is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a comforting meal. Enjoy!
