Hamburger Steak with Brown Gravy

Last night, my husband had a craving for a gourmet dish: hamburger steak drenched in a rich brown gravy infused with mushrooms and onions.

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs Ground Chuck
  • 1 Yellow Onion (thinly sliced)
  • 16 oz Mushrooms (a mix of cremini and shiitake)
  • 2 cups Beef Broth (divided, I prefer canned fat-free low sodium)
  • 2 tbsp All-purpose Flour
  • 6 tbsp Butter
  • 4 Scallions (white and green sections, sliced)
  • Salt and Pepper (to taste)

Instructions:

  1. Divide the ground chuck into 6 equal-sized patties, seasoning each side generously with salt and pepper.
  2. In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Sauté the onions and mushrooms over medium heat until golden brown. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
  3. Melt an additional 2 tablespoons of butter in the skillet and sear the beef patties for 3 minutes on each side, or until the beef reaches 120°F. Remove the patties from the skillet.
  4. Add the last 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Pour in 1½ cups of beef broth, bringing it to a simmer. Whisk in the flour and cook until the mixture thickens. If the gravy becomes too thick, incorporate the remaining 1/2 cup of broth.
  5. Reintroduce the beef patties, mushrooms, and onions into the simmering gravy. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. Cook until the desired doneness is achieved.
  6. Serve the delectable dish and garnish it with sliced scallions for a finishing touch.

Enjoy your meal!
