Ingredients

For the Hamburger Steaks

• 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
• 1 small onion, finely diced
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp oil or butter (for cooking)

For the Savory Sauce / Gravy

• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups beef broth
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
• Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the patties: Combine ground beef, diced onion, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire
   sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently and form into oval-shaped patties.
2. Cook the steaks: Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and
   cook for 4–5 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
3. Make the gravy: In the same skillet, melt butter. Add flour and whisk to form a roux. Cook
   for 1 minute. Slowly pour in beef broth while stirring. Add Worcestershire sauce and mushrooms. Simmer until
   slightly thickened.
4. Combine and simmer: Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet, cover, and let simmer
   for 10–15 minutes.
5. Serve: Spoon the rich gravy over the top and serve hot.
