Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Oil (for frying)
• 1 large Onion (sliced)
• 1 cup Mushrooms (sliced)
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 teaspoon Soy sauce

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into oval patties about 3/4-inch thick.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the hamburger steaks and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the butter and stir in the sliced onions and mushrooms. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and golden.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the onions and mushrooms. Stir well to coat and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the beef broth while stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Add the soy sauce and stir to combine.

Step 7

Bring the sauce to a simmer and return the hamburger steaks to the skillet. Spoon some of the gravy over the patties.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the patties simmer in the gravy for 15 minutes to ensure they are fully cooked and tender.

Step 9

Serve the hamburger steaks hot, smothered in gravy, alongside mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite vegetable sides.
