Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground beef
• 1 slice White bread
• 60 ml Milk
• 2 large Onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 30 grams Butter
• 480 ml Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Start by making fresh breadcrumbs: take 1 slice of white bread and cut it into small pieces. Place them in a small bowl and soak with 60 ml of milk for a few minutes until absorbed.

Step 2

Finely chop 1 large onion and mince 2 cloves of garlic for the hamburger steak mixture.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine 500 grams of ground beef, the soaked breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, 1 beaten egg, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Shape the mixture into 4 equally sized oval patties. Set them aside.

Step 5

Peel and slice the remaining large onion into thin rings.

Step 6

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the hamburger patties and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and keep warm.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to medium and add 30 grams of butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the sliced onions and cook until they are caramelized and soft, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour over the onions and stir well to coat. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 9

Gradually add 480 ml of beef broth while stirring continuously to create a smooth sauce. Then stir in 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce. Allow the gravy to simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.

Step 10

Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet, coating them with the onion gravy, and let them simmer for another 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 11

Garnish with 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley and serve hot over mashed potatoes or rice with the rich onion gravy.
