Hamburger Steaks With Onion Gravy
Not only do these Hamburger Steaks make a delicious easy weeknight meal, but they are tender, flavorful, and covered in a delicious Onion Gravy. Add some mashed potatoes and a green vegetable and you have the perfect satisfying and comforting meal.
I’m a bit old fashioned, and I also love those classic old fashioned recipes. I love the old recipes that my mom made years ago. When growing up, I could never wait to get home from school and run into the kitchen to see what my mom was making for dinner. I was always starved by the time I got home, and also cold in the winter months. I loved it when my mom fixed my favorite comfort foods for dinner and anything with gravy was an added bonus! Add mashed potatoes with that gravy and oh…my!!! I could never get enough.
These hamburger steaks are one of my favorite comfort foods, especially on a cold day. They’re easy and come together quickly and the rich and flavorful gravy is just as quick & easy.

Description
These Hamburger Steaks are a quick & easy weeknight meal and I love to fix them on a chilly evening when you need a hot comforting meal to warm you up. They are delicious and satisfying!
Ingredients
HAMBURGER STEAKS
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 pounds of ground chuck, 80/20
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
GRAVY
- 1 large onion cut in half then sliced
- 1 can beef broth, 14 ounces, plus enough water to make 2 cups
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Kitchen Bouquet
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
HAMBURGER STEAKS
- Add the flour to a shallow edged dish and set aside.
- Add the ground chuck, diced onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper to a medium-sized bowl. Gently combine the ingredients by lightly mixing with your hands. Don’t squeeze the meat as you mix or you’ll have tough steak patties when they’re cooked. Form the meat mixture into 4 to 5 steak patties, depending on what size you want.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Dip the steak patties in the flour on both sides and fry them in the heated skillet until they are browned on each side and cooked through. Remove them from the skillet and set aside on a plate. Drain all the grease from the skillet except for about 2 tablespoons.
GRAVY
- Add the onions to the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the onions are tender and translucent about 8 to 10 minutes.
- In a medium bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the beef broth, water, flour, salt, pepper, Kitchen Bouquet, and Worcestershire sauce. Add the mixture to the skillet with the onions and whisk constantly over medium heat, until the mixture thickens. Return the hamburger steaks back to the skillet and simmer on low for about 15 minutes.
- Serve with mashed potatoes and a green vegetable.
Notes
- Kitchen Bouquet is a seasoning sauce that browns and seasons gravy with a delicious depth of flavor. Don’t omit it from this recipe.
Wow! Made this tonight with mashed potatoes and green beans. The ultimate cozy comfort food! I forgot this was even a dinner option until I saw your recipe – nostalgia is in full swing tonight. So easy and super flavorful. Never heard of kitchen bouquet but found it easily at Kroger in the baking aisle by the broth. 5 stars!
Forgot to rate. 5 stars!
Quick, easy, and delicious!
Hi Cindy, the recipe says 14 oz beef broth plus water enough for 2 cups do we count that with the beef broth? Or the beef broth plus 2 cups of water. Also how long to sear them about 3 to 4 mins per side I wanna cook on Saturday. .. thanks in advance ☺️ oh and no salt in the meat itself right just the gravy. Can I use ground sirloin
HI Vohammie, It’s a total of 2 cups counting the broth. Yes you can certainly use ground sirloin. I fry them for about 3 minutes on each side, just until they’re cooked through. You can add salt to the meat if you like. Let me know how you liked them. 🙂
Can I leave out the egg?
Hi Lisa, Yes you can.
Hey Youn don’t mention the 1/4 cup flour in the gravy mixture. I figured that would be what helps to thicken the gravy. Might want to change it.
It’s delicious.
Hi Jules, It’s mentioned in step #2 of the gravy, but thanks for the feedback. I’m grateful when someone catches any errors and brings them to my attention. 🙂
