How to cook deliciously - Hamburger Steak and Gravy
1. Stage
Combine the egg, bread crumbs, pepper and 2 tablespoons of the onion soup mix in a large bowl. Crumble the ground beef into the bowl, then mix everything lightly but thoroughly. Divide the ground beef mixture into four portions, then shape each portion into a round or oval burger. Editor's Tip: Be careful not to over-handle the ground beef; this can give burgers a tough texture. Premixing the other ingredients before adding the meat will help everything come together easily.
2. Stage
Heat a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for four to five minutes on each side until a digital thermometer inserted into the middles reads 160°F. Remove the burgers from the pan, set them aside and keep them warm. Editor's Tip: Keep the burgers warm in a 200º oven or on a warming burner while you make the gravy.
3. Stage
Mix the flour, water, Worcestershire sauce and remaining onion soup mix, then stir them into the skillet. Add the drained mushrooms and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat slightly, and cook the gravy for about five minutes until it's thickened. Serve the sauce and patties with mashed potatoes. Editor's Tip: To achieve a smoother texture, finely dice the mushrooms before adding them to the pan.
