Ingredients
  

Hamburger Steaks
  • 2 lbs (907 g) ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 onion, finely diced
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
Creamy Beef Gravy
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, diced onion, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl, mixing gently until evenly incorporated.
  2. Form the mixture into 6–8 oval patties and set them aside while the gravy is prepared.
Cooking
  1. Brown the patties in an oven-safe skillet for 3–4 minutes on each side, then transfer them to a plate and set aside.
  2. Cook the sliced onion in the same skillet with the butter. Add the flour and stir continuously for 2 minutes.
  3. Pour in the beef broth and heavy cream, then whisk in the garlic powder until the gravy mixture is smooth.
  4. Return the browned patties to the skillet, arranging them in the gravy. Cover the skillet tightly.
Baking
  1. Bake the covered skillet at 350°F / 175°C for 45 minutes.
  2. Remove the cover and continue baking for 15 minutes, until the patties reach an internal temperature of 160°F / 71°C.
Serving
  1. Take the skillet from the oven and let the hamburger steak bake rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For food safety, cook the ground beef patties to an internal temperature of 160°F / 71°C.
