  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 20–25 minutes
  • Total Time: 35–40 minutes

Ingredients List

For the Hamburger Steaks:

  • 1 ¼ pounds ground beef (85% lean)
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning
  • ¼ cup crushed pork rinds (or breadcrumbs if not low carb)
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon fresh minced parsley
  • 1 teaspoon oil (for cooking)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Mushroom Gravy:

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • ½ cup beef broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Hamburger Steaks

  1. Mix the Meat:
    • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, Montreal Steak Seasoning, crushed pork rinds, heavy cream, and minced parsley.
    • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
    • Mix until everything is well combined, but be careful not to overwork the meat to keep the steaks tender.
  2. Form the Patties:
    • Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into oval or round patties, about ½ inch thick.

Step 2: Cook the Hamburger Steaks

  1. Cook the Patties:
    • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    • Once hot, add the hamburger patties and cook for 4–5 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through.
    • Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Mushroom Gravy

  1. Sauté the Mushrooms:
    • In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
    • Add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, or until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
  2. Add the Broth and Cream:
    • Pour in the beef broth and heavy cream. Stir to combine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
    • Let the mixture simmer for 4–5 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened slightly.
    • Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4: Serve

  1. Top the Steaks:
    • Return the cooked hamburger steaks to the skillet with the mushroom gravy. Spoon the gravy over the steaks and let them simmer for an additional 2–3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  2. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Serve the hamburger steaks topped with the creamy mushroom gravy. Pair with a side of mashed cauliflower, zucchini noodles, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.

Additional Notes

  • Low-Carb Option: Use crushed pork rinds instead of breadcrumbs for a low-carb alternative.
  • Add Veggies: Feel free to add onions or bell peppers to the mushroom gravy for extra flavor.
  • Cheese Topping: For an extra indulgent touch, top the patties with melted cheese like cheddar or Swiss.
