Hamburger Steak

 

 I've never made hamburger steak so I decided to give it to a try and I wouldn't change a thing. I had some potatoes I needed to use up and I asked what would go good with a side of mash potatoes. I usually do meatloaf but I wanted something a little different and I didn't have much time to cook before Phil went to work. I managed to take a few pics though :)






Recipe:
1 lb of hamburger meat. (lean)
1/4 cup of plain bread crumbs
1 egg
2 cloves freshly minced garlic
1 T Worcestershire
1 T ketchup
salt and pepper to taste 
1 med white onion thinly sliced
1 cup of thinly sliced mushrooms


Gravy
1 cup of beef broth
2 T flour
1/2 t season salt

I actually doubled the gravy so feel free to do so if you like a lot of gravy. :) I wouldn't double the season salt though. Taste it before you add more.


Using your hands or a spatula, mix all the ingredients and form your patties. Put a dimple in the center of the patty so they cook evenly. Then place in the pan with 1 T of canola oil on med low heat and cook on each side for about 3-4 minutes on each side.



 Once the patties are done remove them from the pan and set aside. Now, place your onions and mushrooms in the same pan and cook for about 5-6 minutes or until onions are caramelized.
Then sprinkle your flour over the onions and mushrooms and give it a toss. Add your beef broth slowly and whisking at the same time to make the gravy. Bring it to a boil then add your patties back in and cover. Simmer on low for about 10-15 minutes.

 -Serve with a nice salad or some green beans. :)
