Directions
Prepare the Patties: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, black pepper, 1 tsp salt, onion powder, minced garlic, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until well combined, then shape the mixture into thick patties.
Cook the Patties and Onions: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the beef patties and sliced onions to the skillet. Cook the patties until browned on both sides, and the onions soften. Once the patties are done, remove them from the skillet and keep them warm.
Make the Gravy: Sprinkle the flour over the onions and drippings in the skillet. Stir the flour into the onions, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Gradually add the beef broth, stirring continuously. Season with 1/2 tsp salt. Let the gravy simmer over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, or until it thickens.
Finish the Dish: Reduce the heat to low, return the beef patties to the skillet, and spoon the gravy over them. Cover the skillet and let the patties simmer in the gravy for an additional 15 minutes.
Serve: Serve the hamburger steaks hot, generously covered with the onion gravy. This dish is perfect with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite vegetables. Enjoy!
