Instructions

1
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, milk, Worcestershire sauce, dried minced onion, 1 tablespoon of steak seasoning, and garlic powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined.
2
Shape the mixture into four round, 3/4-inch thick patties.
3
Season both sides of the patties with salt, pepper, and/or more steak seasoning.
4
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
5
Sear the patties for 5-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through to an internal temperature of 160°F.
6
Remove the cooked patties from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
7
To the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 3 minutes until softened.
8
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
9
Gradually stir in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
10
Bring the gravy to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 3-4 minutes, until it has thickened.
11
Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste.
12
Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy.
13
Serve hot over mashed potatoes with a side of asparagus or your favorite vegetable.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Don't press the patties while cooking—let them develop a golden crust on each side for 4–5 minutes before flipping once.
Add the mushrooms to the pan after removing the steaks so they brown properly; wet mushrooms will steam instead of caramelize.
Finish the gravy by whisking in a slurry of cornstarch or flour mixed with cold broth if you prefer it thicker.

Substitutions

Ground beef → ground sirloin or ground turkey (reduces richness; add 1 tbsp of sour cream to the gravy for moisture)
Worcestershire sauce → soy sauce (use ½ tbsp; it's saltier)
Dried minced onion → ½ cup finely diced fresh onion sautéed before adding mushrooms

Storage & make-ahead

Store cooked hamburger steaks and gravy together in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. Reheat gently on the stovetop over medium heat, adding broth if needed to loosen the sauce.

Common Questions

How do you keep hamburger steaks from falling apart?

Mix the ground beef gently with milk, Worcestershire sauce, and seasonings until just combined—don't overwork it. The milk acts as a binder and keeps the patties moist and tender.

Can you make the mushroom gravy ahead of time?

Yes. Make the gravy up to 2 days ahead and refrigerate it. Reheat gently on the stovetop, stirring occasionally and adding a splash of broth or water if it thickens too much.

What's the best way to know when hamburger steaks are done?

Cook until the internal temperature reaches 160°F for well-done beef. They should feel firm but not hard when pressed with a spatula.

Can you use fresh mushrooms instead of sliced?

Yes. Slice fresh mushrooms about ¼-inch thick and sauté them until golden before making the gravy. Button, cremini, or baby bella mushrooms all work well.
