How to Make Hamburger Steak

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground beef, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Shape the mixture into 4 square patties (approximately 1/2 inch thick).
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the patties for 2-3 minutes per side.
  4. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside. Add 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced, to the skillet and sauté until softened and lightly caramelized (about 5 minutes).
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1 cup beef broth.
  6. Add the flour-broth mixture to the skillet with the onions. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
  7. Stir in 1/2 cup beef cubes, salt, pepper to taste, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional).
  8. Return the hamburger patties and onions to the skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-45 minutes, or until the patties are cooked through and the sauce has thickened to your liking. Add a little more beef broth if the sauce becomes too thick.
  9. Serve immediately over your choice of mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice. For a burger variation, serve on toasted buns with the caramelized onions and gravy.
