Hamburger Steak with Smothered Onions
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp Creole Seasoning
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
FOR THE SMOTHERED ONIONS
- 2 tbsp butter
- ½ yellow onion thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1½ cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
TO SERVE
- mashed potatoes see recipe
- fresh parsley chopped for garnishment
- green onions chopped for garnishment
Instructions
- Combine the ground beef with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Make four evenly shaped patties about ½-inch thick.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over MEDIUM heat and cook the hamburger patties for about 5-minutes. Flip, and cook for another 5-minutes. Remove the hamburger steaks from the pan and place on a plate; remove the pan, as well - the gravy comes out better with a new pan and without all of the fattie residue from the hamburgers.
FOR THE SMOTHERED ONIONS
- Melt the butter in a large clean pan; add the thinly sliced onions to the pan and cook for 10 minutes, or until the onions have softened and caramelized. Add the all-purpose flour to the pan and mix to coat the onions in it.
- Slowly pour the beef broth into the pan and continue to stir as the broth thickens into a gravy. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer on MEDIUM-LOW for about 5-minutes. If the gravy becomes too thick, slowly add small amounts of broth to thin out.
- Turn heat to LOW, return the hamburger steaks to the pan, cover, and simmer on LOW for 15-minutes.
TO SERVE
- Place mashed potatoes on plate and top with Hamburger Steak and Smothered Onions. Garnish with fresh parsley and chopped green onions.
