Ingredients

Hamburger Steak

1 pound (450g) ground beef
1 egg
¼ cup (25g) breadcrumbs
½-1 teaspoon (1-3g) white pepper (or black pepper)
1 teaspoon (6g) salt
2 tablespoons (12g) grated onion
1 teaspoon (5g) minced garlic

Mushroom Onion Gravy

2 tablespoons (15g) all-purpose flour
1 cup (236ml) beef broth
½ cup (118ml) water
2 tablespoons (28g) butter
1-1½ cups (125-200g) sliced mushrooms
1 cup (120g) thinly sliced onions
1 teaspoon (1-2g) minced thyme
1 tablespoon (15g) minced garlic
1½ teaspoons (7-8ml) Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon (5g) Creole seasoning (adjust to taste)

Instructions

Mix the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, white or black pepper, salt, grated onion, and minced garlic gently with your hands in a large bowl.
Divide the mixture into 4-6 equally sized portions, then gently shape them into patties and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk the flour into the broth and water, and set aside.
Heat a lightly oiled pan over medium-high heat. Sear patties for 2-3 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
Add 2 tablespoons of butter, followed by mushrooms, onions, thyme, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and Creole seasoning, and sauté for about 6 minutes or until the mushrooms and onions are tender.
Add the broth and flour mixture, and bring to a boil. Return the patties and the drippings to the skillet, and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper as needed.
Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 8-10 minutes. Adjust the consistency with more stock or water, and serve immediately with your chosen sides.
