Cracker Barrel Hamburger Steak
Description
Cracker Barrel Hamburger Steak features ground beef chuck mixed with salt, black pepper, onion salt, and garlic powder, formed into flat patties and seared in a hot cast-iron skillet to create a browned exterior. The cooking method ensures the steaks develop a flavorful crust while staying juicy inside.
The accompanying onion gravy is made by cooking sliced onions in the same skillet until soft and browned, then stirring in flour to form a roux. Beef broth is added gradually to create a smooth gravy that carries the caramelized onion flavor and beefy richness from the skillet fond.
This dish pairs well with classic sides like mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or rice, complementing its hearty texture and savory taste. It's a straightforward comfort food option delivering a satisfying meat-and-gravy combination.
Ingredients
Hamburger Steaks
- 1½ pounds ground beef chuck
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
- ¼ teaspoon onion salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Onion Gravy
- 1 cup white onion slices
- 1 to 2 teaspoons butter if needed
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1½ cups beef broth
Instructions
Hamburger Steaks
- Combine the ground chuck, salt, ground black pepper, onion salt, and garlic powder in a medium-sized bowl. Mix to combine well.
- Form the meat mixture into 4 equally sized round, flat patties.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet to medium-high heat.
- Place the hamburger steaks in the hot skillet, being careful not to crowd the steaks too much. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Flip the steaks over, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on the other side. The steaks should be seared and browned.
- Remove the steaks from the skillet, and set aside.
Onion Gravy
- Place the sliced onions in the skillet and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, or until they have softened and begun to brown.
- Remove the onions from the skillet.
- If there isn’t enough grease in the skillet, add a teaspoon or two of butter. Then add the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring to make sure the flour cooks evenly.
- Add the beef broth to the skillet and stir until the gravy is smooth.
- Reduce the heat to low and cook for 2 minutes. You can add the onions to the gravy or keep them separate.
To Serve
- Place the hamburger steaks on a plate and top with onions and gravy.
