Hamburger Steak (with gravy)

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine beef with the egg, breadcrumbs, onion, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Do NOT overwork the meat. Divide into 4-5 oval patties that are about ½ inch thick.

Step 2

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium high heat, cook for 5 minutes per side or until browned (internal temperature must reach 160°F/71°C). Remove onto a plate, cover with foil and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, melt the butter, and sauté the mushrooms and onions for 4-5 minutes or until the onion is translucent.

Step 4

Add the garlic, and cook for 30 seconds.

Step 5

Add the flour, and cook for 30 more seconds while stirring. Add the beef broth gradually while whisking. Bring the mixture to a boil, and simmer for 3 minutes or until the sauce thickens and looks like a glaze.

Step 6

Season with Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper.

Step 7

Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet, spoon the sauce over the steaks, and cook for 5 more minutes.

Step 8

Remove from heat, garnish with parsley and serve over mashed potatoes with steamed broccoli or green beans.
