Hamburger Steak Recipe
Description
This recipe combines eggs and breadcrumbs to bind 85/15 ground beef with finely minced onions, grated garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, salt, and pepper, mixed gently to prevent dense patties. The mixture is divided and shaped carefully into six patties, avoiding overworking. Olive oil is heated until hot for searing the patties 3-4 minutes per side to develop a brown crust, cooking in batches if needed.
After searing, the patties rest while sliced onions are sautéed with salt until browned and tender over 15-17 minutes total. Garlic is added briefly before flour is stirred in to form a roux. Beef stock is gradually incorporated and simmered to thicken, creating a gravy. The patties are returned to the pot to finish cooking in the sauce.
This combination results in tender, flavorful hamburger steaks topped with a savory onion gravy, making a satisfying meal when paired with sides like mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
Handling the meat gently maintains tenderness; chilling patties before cooking can improve firmness. Leftovers store well refrigerated or frozen and should be reheated gently to preserve texture.
Ingredients
For the Steaks:
- 2 egg large
- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 pounds ground beef 85/15 fat ratio
- ¼ cup yellow onion finely minced
- 2 garlic finely grated, cloves
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- salt coarse and freshly cracked, to taste
- black pepper coarse and freshly cracked, to taste
For the Sauce:
- 2 yellow onion peeled and thickly sliced
- 2 garlic finely minced
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups beef stock
- 1 tablespoons butter unsalted
- salt coarse and freshly cracked, to taste
- black pepper coarse and freshly cracked, to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl whisk the eggs and then mix in the breadcrumbs and let it sit for 2 to 3 minutes or until the breadcrumbs are completely soaked in.
- Next, mix in the beef, minced onions, garlic cloves, Worcestershire, Tabasco, salt, and pepper until combined.
- Form 6 equal sized hamburger steak patties and place them on a plate or platter.
- Add the olive oil to a large rondeau or sauce pot and heat to medium high heat and heat for 90 seconds.
- Place in the hamburger steaks and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until well browned on both sides. It’s ok to cook this in batches if you pan is not big enough. In addition, do not worry about them cooking through.
- Set the burgers to the side and add in the sliced onions. Gently season with salt and sauté for 5 minutes. Turn the heat down to low and cook for a further 10 to 12 minutes or until browned and tender.
- Stir in the garlic and cook just until fragrant, which takes 30 to 45 seconds. Then stir in the flour until combined.
- Pour in the beef stock and bring it to a boil which thickens it. Season it gently with salt and pepper.
- Add back in the beef and cook for 5 to 6 minutes to heat up and finish cooking. Stir in butter and serve.
Notes
- Mix the ground beef gently with binding ingredients to keep patties tender, avoiding overwork.
- Allow breadcrumbs to soak in egg before mixing, helping the patties hold together.
- Chill patties if they feel too soft to help maintain shape during cooking.
- Preheat pan and oil thoroughly for a good sear; cook patties undisturbed to develop a brown crust.
- Cook patties in batches to avoid overcrowding and steaming.
- Adding grated parmesan or smoked paprika can enhance flavor variations.
- Store shaped patties in the fridge up to 24 hours or freeze up to 3 months separated by parchment paper.
- Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days or freeze gravy and steaks separately for up to 3 months; thaw overnight before reheating gently in a skillet with added stock if necessary.
