Hamburger Steak Ingredients
You’ll need:
For the Steaks
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup bread crumbs
- 1 egg
- 4 tablespoon butter, divided
For the Sauce
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup sweet yellow onion, thinly sliced

- 2 cups beef broth

SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS
MUSHROOMS: I suggest cremini or white button mushrooms for the gravy recipe, but you can definitely experiment with your favorite. Use a damp towel to gently clean each mushroom before starting.
CHEESE: Add half a cup of your favorite shredded cheese to the meat mixture for a cheesy variation.
VEGGIES: You could add chopped veggies to the hamburger meat mixture OR add sliced peppers to the onions and mushrooms as well.
BACON: Top with extra crispy, crumbled bacon before serving.
GROUND MEAT: You could also make this great recipe with ground pork or ground turkey if you prefer
How To Make This Hamburger Steak Recipe
PRO TIP:
You can put this recipe together up to eight hours in advance, so it’s a great option when you know you’ll have a busy evening.
STEP ONE: In a large bowl mix together the ground beef, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, salt, bread crumbs, and egg. Mix only until combined, don’t over mix. Shape ground beef mixture into four equal patties.
PRO TIP:
I make the patties on the big side as they will shrink down while cooking.
STEP TWO: In a large skillet over medium-high heat melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the ground beef patties and cook about 4 minutes on each side until browned (they will cook further in the sauce later). Remove the meat patties from the skillet and place them on a plate.
STEP THREE: Using the same skillet, reduce to medium heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add in the sliced onions and mushrooms and cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until softened and browned.
STEP FOUR: Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
STEP FIVE: Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms, onions, and garlic and stir while cooking for one minute.
STEP SIX: Add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce and salt and pepper to taste and cook for about 5 to 6 minutes stirring frequently.
STEP SEVEN: Add the hamburger steaks back into the skillet — along with any juices on the plate — and cover them with the gravy. Cover with a lid and reduce heat to a simmer and cook for another 10 minutes. Remove lid and cook another 10 to 15 minutes letting the sauce thicken.
PRO TIP:
Garnish the finished dish with chopped parsley, if you like!

Made this tonight and it was delicious! I forgot to add the soy sauce to the burger and omitted the Worcestershire sauce cause I’m not a fan of it. Still turned out great! I will make this again, although I will try ground elk next time!
Essie says
Left out the soy sauce and Worcestershire. Too much sodium in both. Didn’t need either. It was delicious.
