If you’re tired of the same old beef dinner, why not try something new? Our Hamburger Steak with Onions and Gravy Recipe is easy to make and pretty tasty. This dish is hearty enough for a cold winter night! The flavors are reminiscent of a classic hamburger steak with mashed potatoes, but the secret is in the gravy. You can also serve this dish with carrots or mushrooms to make it an even more filling meal.
Ingredients
2 Tbsp. each butter and vegetable oil
1 onion, diced
2 lbs. ground beef
salt and pepper or other seasonings to taste
4 cups of beef broth (or water)
2 cups flour (heaping tablespoons)
1/4 cup beef broth (to thin up the gravy)
Directions
Put your onions into a large skillet. Cook them over medium heat until they get brown and crispy (about 10 minutes). Add some oil if needed to keep them from burning.
-Put the onions into the frying pan. Cook them until they get brown and crispy (about 10 minutes). Add some oil if needed to keep them from burning.
-Let the oil heat in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the beef, salt, and pepper, or whatever seasonings you like. Cook until it is browned on both sides (about 5 minutes). Remove it to a plate and set it aside for now.
-While your beef cooks, mix up the gravy ingredients in a separate bowl. The ratio of liquid to flour is 2:1 so you will need 4 cups liquid and 2 cups flour to make this gravy recipe.
-Add the flour to the liquid and stir until it is smooth (about 5 minutes). Add some beef broth if you like (you can also use water if you don’t have any). Stir until it is smooth again (about 5 minutes) and then cook for an additional 2 minutes. You can also let it cook in the saucepan over low heat for about 15 minutes.
-Add your beef back to the skillet. Pour in half of your gravy (making sure there are no clumps left in the gravy) and mix it into the beef with a wooden spoon or spatula. Add more gravy until your mixture is nice and thick (5 more minutes). Turn off the heat source, cover, and set aside.
