🥩 Hamburger Steak with Onion Gravy
🛒 Ingredients
For the patties:
- 500g ground beef
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 2 tbsp breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp mustard (optional)
- Salt & black pepper
For the onion gravy:
- 2 tbsp butter or oil
- 2 large onions (sliced)
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 cups beef broth (or water + stock cube)

- Salt & pepper to taste
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Make the Patties
- In a bowl, mix ground beef, chopped onion, breadcrumbs, egg, ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper
- Shape into oval patties (like steaks, not round burgers)
2. Cook the Patties
- Heat a pan with a little oil
- Fry patties on medium heat for 4–5 minutes per side until browned
- Remove and set aside (they’ll finish cooking in gravy)
3. Make the Onion Gravy
- In the same pan, add butter and sliced onions
- Cook until soft and golden (10–15 mins for best flavor)
- Sprinkle flour and stir for 1–2 minutes
- Slowly add broth, stirring to avoid lumps
- Add soy sauce, salt, and pepper
4. Combine
- Return patties to the pan
- Cover and simmer 10–15 minutes until cooked through and gravy thickens
