Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 large egg
1 clove garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound ground beef (80/20)
2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
10 ounces baby bella mushrooms, sliced
2 sprigs thyme, leaves picked and stems discarded
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, sliced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups low-sodium beef broth, hot
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • For the hamburger steaks: Whisk together the mustard, smoked paprika, egg, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Mix in the ground beef and breadcrumbs by hand, then form into 4 oval patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Set a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat and add the oil. Add the patties and brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the patties to a plate; set aside.
  • For the onion and mushroom gravy: Turn the heat down to medium and add the mushrooms and thyme. Cook until the mushrooms release their liquid and are browned, about 8 minutes. (The mushrooms might seem dry at first, but will eventually release liquid and add moisture to the pan.) Transfer the mushrooms to a plate; set aside.
  • Melt the butter in the pan, add the onions and garlic and cook until translucent and lightly golden, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring, until the butter and liquid are absorbed, about 1 minute. Pour the broth and Worcestershire into the pan and stir until the flour is dissolved.
  • Turn the heat to high and bring to a boil. Stir the mushrooms back into the pan and nestle in the beef patties. Cover with a lid and reduce the heat to medium low. Let simmer until the sauce has thickened and a thermometer inserted into the patties registers 165 degrees F, about 10 minutes.
  • Turn the patties over a few times to coat in the sauce. Season with salt and pepper and top with the parsley.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground beef: For the best flavor and texture, use a combination of 80% lean and 20% fat ground beef.
  • Season the beef well: Don't be afraid to season the beef generously with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to bring out the flavor of the meat.
  • Form the patties gently: Don't overwork the beef when forming the patties. This will make them tough.
  • Cook the patties over medium heat: Cooking the patties over medium heat will help to prevent them from drying out.
  • Don't flip the patties too often: Flipping the patties too often will also make them tough. Flip them only once, when they are cooked about halfway through.
  • Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure that the patties are cooked to your desired doneness is to use a meat thermometer. Cook them to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 165 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.

Conclusion:

Hamburger steak is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following these tips, you can make sure that your hamburger steak is juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection.
