Hearty Hamburger Steaks Gravy (Printer-Friendly)

Juicy beef patties in rich brown gravy with onions and mushrooms, perfect served over creamy sides.

# What You'll Need:

→ Beef Patties

01 - 1 lb ground beef (80-85% lean)
02 - ¼ cup finely diced yellow onion
03 - 1 tsp onion powder
04 - 1 tsp garlic powder
05 - 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
06 - ½ tsp salt
07 - ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper

→ Brown Gravy and Vegetables

08 - 2 tbsp olive oil
09 - 1 small yellow onion, sliced
10 - 1 cup sliced baby bella mushrooms
11 - 1 packet instant brown gravy mix
12 - 1½ cups water

# Steps to Follow:

01 - In a large bowl, whisk instant brown gravy mix with 1½ cups water until smooth and lump-free. Set aside.
02 - In a separate bowl, gently fold ground beef, finely diced onion, onion powder, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper together without overmixing.
03 - Shape the mixture into five evenly sized patties, pressing lightly to hold shape without compacting too firmly.
04 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions and baby bella mushrooms, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened and beginning to brown. Push vegetables to one side of the pan.
05 - Place patties in the skillet beside the vegetables. Sear without moving for 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip and cook until internal temperature reaches 165°F, ensuring a flavorful crust and juicy center.
06 - Drain excess fat from the skillet carefully. Reduce heat to medium and pour prepared gravy over patties and vegetables. Stir gently to combine, cooking until gravy thickens and coats the patties evenly.
07 - Transfer patties with gravy, onions, and mushrooms over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles. Serve hot for optimal flavor and texture.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Use ground beef between 80-85% lean for optimal juiciness without excess grease.
02 - Sear patties undisturbed to develop a rich crust and lock in moisture.
03 - Instant brown gravy mix provides convenience; select gluten-free versions if needed.
04 - Leftovers store refrigerated up to three days or freeze for longer storage.
