Milk 1/4 cup
Egg 1
Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon
Salt and pepper To taste

Pro tip: Lightly wet your hands before shaping the patties to keep the mixture from sticking.
Directions
Crafting the Perfect Hamburger Steaks:
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, diced onion, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined; shape into oval patties.
Searing the Steaks:
Heat a skillet over medium-high and add olive oil. Cook patties 4–5 minutes per side until deeply browned; remove and set aside.
Preparing the Flavorful Onion Gravy:
In the same skillet, add a touch more oil if needed. Stir in flour; cook 1–2 minutes until golden and fragrant. Slowly whisk in beef broth, smoothing out any lumps. Simmer to thicken.
Finish & Simmer:
Return patties to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Simmer 5–7 minutes to meld flavors and finish cooking.
Serving & Enjoying: Serve hot over fluffy mashed potatoes or alongside your favorite vegetables. The tender steaks and rich onion gravy are a perfect match!
Make it your own: Add sliced mushrooms with the onions, swap beef broth for chicken or veggie broth, or stir a knob of butter into the gravy for extra gloss.
