🧾 Ingredients
For the Steaks:
- 500 g (1 lb) ground beef
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
For the Onion Gravy:
- 2 tablespoons butter or oil
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups beef broth (or water with bouillon)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt & pepper, to taste
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Make the Steaks
- In a bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Mix gently until combined (don’t overmix).
- Shape into 4 oval patties.
2️⃣ Cook the Steaks
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon butter or oil.
- Cook patties 3–4 minutes per side, until browned (they’ll finish cooking in the gravy). Remove and set aside.
3️⃣ Make the Onion Gravy
- In the same skillet, add remaining butter or oil.
- Sauté onions for 5–7 minutes, until soft and caramelized.
- Sprinkle flour over onions and stir to coat. Cook 1–2 minutes to remove raw flour taste.
- Slowly add beef broth while stirring. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Simmer 3–5 minutes, until thickened.
4️⃣ Combine
- Return the steaks to the gravy.
- Simmer 5–7 minutes until the steaks are fully cooked and flavorful.
5️⃣ Serve
- Spoon steaks with gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
💡 Tips & Variations
- Extra savory: Add 1 tsp Dijon mustard or a splash of soy sauce to gravy
- Low-carb: Skip breadcrumbs, add 1 tbsp almond flour
- Make ahead: Steaks can be shaped and refrigerated for 1 day, cook fresh
- Creamy gravy option: Add ¼ cup heavy cream at the end
