Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Hamburger Steaks
Start by combining the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the meat to keep it tender.
Divide the mixture into 4 even portions and shape them into oval-shaped patties.
Step 2: Cook the Hamburger Steaks
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the hamburger patties to the skillet. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are nicely browned and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F/71°C for medium-well).
Once the patties are done, remove them from the skillet and set them aside. Leave the drippings in the pan for the gravy, as they add flavor to the dish.
Step 3: Make the Onion Gravy
In the same skillet, add the butter and olive oil. Once the butter has melted, add the thinly sliced onions. Cook the onions over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and caramelized—about 8-10 minutes. You want them to be golden and tender, which will create a deep, savory flavor for the gravy.
Once the onions are caramelized, stir in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard (if using). Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
If you prefer a thicker gravy, mix the cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry, then add it to the gravy mixture. Stir continuously until the gravy thickens to your liking. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
Step 4: Combine the Hamburger Steaks with the Gravy
Return the cooked hamburger steaks to the skillet with the onion gravy. Spoon the gravy over the patties, then cover the skillet and let it simmer on low for an additional 5-10 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together and the beef to absorb some of the delicious gravy.
Step 5: Serve
Once everything is cooked through and the gravy has thickened, it’s time to serve! Spoon the onion gravy over the hamburger steaks and garnish with fresh herbs, like parsley or thyme, if desired. Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or a side of roasted vegetables to complete the meal.

Tips for Perfect Hamburger Steaks:
- Use a Meat with Fat: Opt for 80/20 ground beef for juicy patties. Leaner meat might make the patties dry.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the ingredients for the patties, be gentle. Overworking the meat can make the patties tough.
- Caramelize the Onions: Don’t rush the onion cooking process. Take your time to caramelize them properly to bring out their natural sweetness and depth of flavor.
- Make it Extra Rich: Add a splash of heavy cream to the gravy towards the end for a creamier texture and extra richness.
