Southern Style Hamburger Steak Recipe

Hamburger steak is one such example, and this recipe is smothered with a simple and rich, homemade onion gravy. It's a skillet meal that is guaranteed to hit the spot.

How to Make the Best Hamburger Steak Recipe with Onion Gravy

• What's in Hamburger Steak? This Hamburger Steak recipe begins with ground beef. You can use ground sirloin or ground chuck. My preference is the leaner ground sirloin, 85/15 fat to meat ratio so the steaks will have a really tasty flavor and less shrinking while cooking. You'll also need seasoned salt, breadcrumbs, diced onion, granulated garlic and onion powder, large eggs, Worcestershire sauce or A1 steak sauce, and oil for frying. You can also use bacon drippings for frying.
• How do you make the best onion gravy? Onion gravy starts with butter, sliced onion, all purpose flour, beef stock, salt and pepper and cream at the end to add a creaminess and richness of flavor. It's simple to make and ideal for smothering hamburger steak.
• For make ahead preparation, you can fully combine the hamburger steaks mixture and form into individual potions. Place into an airtight container and into the refrigerator covered and separated by wax paper. This can be done up to one day in advance.
• Can I add mushrooms to the gravy for Hamburger Steak? Yes, you can. You can add 8 ounces of fresh sliced mushrooms to the onion cooking until they've reduced and released moisture.
• Can I make Hamburger Steak without gravy? You absolutely can. You can serve these steaks as is, or topped with cheese and sautéed mushrooms, peppers and onions. Or, any of the aforementioned with a side of steak sauce.
