Absolutely! Here’s a classic Hamburger Steak (Salisbury Steak style) recipe with a rich, savory gravy—comfort food at its finest.
Ingredients (serves 2–3)
For the patties:
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef (preferably 80/20 for juiciness)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup almond flour, breadcrumbs, or crushed pork rinds (for keto option)
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
For the gravy:
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional, adds depth)
- 1–2 tsp coconut flour or almond flour (for thickening; or regular flour)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Make the patties:
- In a bowl, combine ground beef, chopped onion, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Mix gently (don’t overwork) and shape into 2–3 oval patties.
- Cook the patties:
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil or butter.
- Cook patties 3–4 minutes per side, until browned (they will finish cooking in the gravy). Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Make the gravy:
- In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté sliced onions until soft and translucent.
- Sprinkle in flour (or coconut/almond flour for keto) and stir for 1 minute.
- Gradually add beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps.
- Add Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and pepper. Simmer 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Combine:
- Return patties to the skillet and spoon gravy over them.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 5–7 minutes, until patties are fully cooked.
- Serve:
- Serve with mashed potatoes, cauliflower mash, or steamed veggies, spooning extra gravy over the top.
💡 Tips for a perfect hamburger steak:
- Don’t press down on patties while cooking—they stay juicy if left alone.
- For extra flavor, sear patties in butter first and finish in gravy.
- You can add mushrooms to the gravy for a “mushroom smothered” version.
If you want, I can give a keto-friendly version with a low-carb mushroom onion gravy that’s just as rich but completely carb-light. Do you want me to make that version?
