HAMBURGER STEAK WITH COUNTRY GRAVY
Yield: 6 patties
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 egg
2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
COUNTRY GRAVY
4 tablespoons butter (please see notes)
1/4 cup flour
Pinch ground cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
3 cups milk
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: Egg noodles or mashed potatoes
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl mix together beef, bread crumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder. Shape into 6 patties. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown patties on both sides; approximately 4-5 minutes per side. Remove patties to oven-proof plate and place in oven at 300 degrees for 15 minutes.
2. In the same skillet over medium-low heat melt butter. Whisk in flour, cayenne, garlic powder, and onion powder. Continue whisking until golden brown and fragrant; about 7 minutes. Slowly add milk whisking continuously. Simmer until slightly thickened; approximately 2-3 minutes. Gravy will thicken more upon cooling. Season with salt & pepper to taste.
3. Add patties back to the pan and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Serve over mashed potatoes or egg noodles.
Note:
Storage – store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop on low or in the microwave at reduced power.
For the gravy add enough butter to the skillet to have 4 tablespoons of fat including the fat from the hamburger.
This recipe is equally delicious with ground turkey or ground pork
