  • Total Time: 35 mins
  • Yield: 8 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 1 package Lipton onion soup mix
  • 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 to 2 tsp seasoned salt, to taste
  • Olive oil, for cooking
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp browning seasoning (optional)
  • 2 1/2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
  • 2 small to medium onions, sliced
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (for gravy)
  • 1/2 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1 tsp black pepper (for gravy)
  • 2 tbsp butter, divided
  • 1 to 2 tbsp ketchup (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, Lipton onion soup mix, panko bread crumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, dried oregano, black pepper, and seasoned salt. Mix until just combined.
  2. Shape the mixture into 8 equal patties.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook until browned on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove patties and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp butter and sauté sliced onions (and mushrooms if using) until softened, about 6-8 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle flour over the onions and mushrooms, stirring to coat and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
  6. Slowly whisk in beef broth, browning seasoning (if using), Worcestershire sauce, Cajun seasoning, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until gravy thickens, about 5 minutes.
  7. Return hamburger steaks to the skillet, spoon gravy over them, and simmer on low until steaks are cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  8. Stir in remaining butter and ketchup (if using) into the gravy for richness and flavor. Serve hot.

Notes

For best flavor, do not overmix the meat mixture to keep the steaks tender. The optional browning seasoning and ketchup add depth to the gravy but can be omitted if preferred. Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
