Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 Egg
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 8 oz Mushrooms
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 2

Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape into oval-shaped patties about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 3

Lightly coat each patty with 1 tablespoon of flour (reserve remaining flour for the gravy).

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until browned. Remove the patties and set aside on a plate.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining oil and butter to the skillet. Slice the onion into thin rings and add to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden.

Step 6

Slice the mushrooms and add them to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and browned.

Step 7

Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of flour over the onions and mushrooms. Stir well to coat and cook for 1 minute.

Step 8

Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the gravy begins to thicken.

Step 9

Stir in the heavy cream and return the hamburger steak patties to the skillet. Spoon the gravy over the patties, cover with a lid, and reduce the heat to low.

Step 10

Simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the patties to fully cook through and the flavors to meld together.

Step 11

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 12

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot with mashed potatoes or rice.
