Ingredients
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Form the Patties: In a large bowl, gently combine the ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until just mixed. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough, dense patties. Divide the mixture into 4 equal-sized portions and gently shape them into oval-shaped patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Sear the Patties: In a large skillet or cast-iron pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Carefully add the hamburger patties and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they develop a nice, golden-brown crust. Transfer the seared patties to a plate and set aside.
- Make the Gravy: In the same pan, sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the drippings and whisk to form a roux. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it takes on a light golden-brown color. Slowly pour in the beef broth, whisking vigorously to prevent lumps from forming. Add the Dijon mustard and season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Bring the gravy to a simmer and let it thicken, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Finish the Dish: Return the seared hamburger patties to the pan, nestling them in the rich, velvety gravy. Reduce the heat to low and let the patties simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until they’re cooked through and the gravy has reached your desired consistency.
- Plate and Serve: Carefully transfer the hamburger steaks to a serving platter or individual plates. Spoon the luscious brown gravy over the top, ensuring each patty is generously coated. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately, while hot and bubbly.
