Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds ground beef, lean
  • ½ cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 3 tablespoons onion soup and dip mix (or 1 package)
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, divided
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced, if desired
  • 2 medium -large onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 ½ cups beef broth, if using mushrooms only 1 cup broth
  • 2-3 tablespoons fresh chives, minced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In large bowl, mix beef, panko, soup mix, and pepper with your hands until fully combined.
  2. Form mixture into four 4-inch-diameter patties, about ½ inch thick.
  3. Using your knuckle, press down center of each patty to create slight indentation.
  4. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in skillet that will hold all four burgers over medium-high heat.
  5. Add patties and cook until well browned and meat registers 130 degrees, about 5 minutes per side.
  6. Transfer to platter and tent with aluminum foil.
  7. Reduce heat to medium, add mushrooms, if using and allow to cook for between 3 and 4 minutes.
  8. Next add onion to skillet, and cook until lightly browned and beginning to soften, about another 4 minutes.
  9. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in broth and bring to boil. Cook until thickened, about 4 minutes.
  10. Off heat, stir in remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  11. Spoon sauce over steaks and sprinkle with chives.

Notes

  • Watch the salt: Be careful when adding salt to the beef, since the gravy will more than likely be on the salty side. Start with a little, then taste and adjust the seasonings. 
  • Let it brown: Don't flip too early. When cooking the hamburger steaks, try not to flip them until they are cooked halfway through. This will help the burger achieve a nice caramelized crust on the outside and will deepen the flavor too. 
  • Watch the flour: Don't burn the flour. When adding the flour to the pan drippings, always keep an eye on your roux to make sure it isn't getting too brown or burning. Keep the heat low. 
  • Don’t over-mix: Don't overwork the meat, mix ingredients until just combined to get it to a juicy consistency.
