Instructions:
Prepare the Hamburger Steaks:
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until just combined.
Divide the mixture into 4-6 equal portions and shape them into oval patties.
Cook the Hamburger Steaks:
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the hamburger patties to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
Make the Brown Gravy:
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in the beef broth, making sure to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Add the Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings (garlic powder, onion powder).
If using, add the thinly sliced onion and cook until the onion is softened and the gravy has thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
Combine and Simmer:
Return the cooked hamburger steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy.
Spoon some gravy over the tops of the steaks.
Reduce the heat to low and let the steaks simmer in the gravy for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Serve:
Serve the brown gravy smothered hamburger steaks hot, with the gravy spooned over the top
Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
