Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 pound (225g) ground beef (80/20 for juiciness)
  • 1/4 cup (30g) breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned, or gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon (10g) finely chopped fresh parsley (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (14g) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 small onion, thinly sliced (about 1/4 cup or 35g)
  • 1/2 cup (40g) sliced mushrooms (button or cremini, optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (8g) all-purpose flour (or gluten-free 1:1 blend)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) beef broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream (or half & half)
  • 1/2 tablespoon (7ml) Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: extra chopped parsley, shredded Swiss or cheddar cheese, thinly sliced green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch (20x20cm) baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and parsley (if using). Mix gently until just combined.
  3. Divide mixture into two equal portions and shape into oval patties, about 1 inch thick.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Sear patties for about 2 minutes per side until browned but not cooked through.
  5. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced onion and mushrooms (if using) and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  6. Sprinkle flour over the veggies and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  7. Gradually whisk in beef broth, scraping up any brown bits. Add cream, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and paprika. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Place seared hamburger steaks in the prepared baking dish. Pour gravy and veggies over the top. Add cheese if desired.
  9. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, until steaks are cooked through (internal temp 160°F) and gravy is bubbling.
  10. Optional: Broil for 1-2 minutes for a browned top, watching closely.
  11. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra parsley or green onions if desired. Serve hot, spooning gravy over each steak.

Notes

For gluten-free, use gluten-free breadcrumbs and flour. For dairy-free, substitute unsweetened plant-based milk and cream. Don’t overmix the meat for tender steaks. Searing the patties adds flavor. Let the bake rest before serving for best gravy consistency. Can be made ahead and assembled just before baking.
