Ingredients 

  • 2 lbs Ground Beef
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
  • 2 tbsps Ketchup
  • 2 tbsps Worcestershire Sauce
  • 3 cloves Garlic, (diced)
  • 1 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1 tbsp Onion Powder
  • 3 tbsps Fresh Parsley, (diced)
  • 1 1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsps Butter
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil

Brown Mushroom Gravy

  • 2 cups Cremini Mushrooms, (sliced)
  • 1/2 Yellow Onion, (diced)
  • 3 cloves Garlic, (diced)
  • 2 tbsps Butter
  • 2 tbsps All purpose Flour
  • 2 tbsps Dijon Mustard
  • 3 Sprigs Thyme, (remove the stems)
  • 1 tbsp Rosemary, (diced)
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 1/2 tsp Better than Bouillon
  • 3 cups Beef Broth

Instructions 

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, dijon mustard, ketchup, worcestershire sauce until smooth and combined.
  • In a separate bowl, combine ground beef, diced garlic, Italian seasoning, onion powder, and freshly chopped parsley. Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Then pour in egg mixture and use your hands to mix together. Once combined, add breadcrumbs and continue to mix until all ingredients are mixed together.
  • Form the patties - divide the meat mixture into 6-8 oval patties (depending on the size that you'd like your hamburger steaks).
  • Brown the steaks - add a tablespoon of olive oil and a tablespoon of butter to a large skillet over medium heat. Allow the oil to warm and add 2-3 of the patties at a time. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side. Do not cook all the way through, just cook enough to sear the hamburger steaks. Remove from the pan and set aside. Leave the excess grease in the pan.
  • Make gravy - using the leftover grease in the pan, add sliced mushrooms and diced onions. Cook until slightly softened and fragrant - about 5-7 minutes. Then add garlic cloves and continue to cook for 2 minutes, until fragrant. Add about 2 tbsps of flour and whisk constantly until a paste begins to form. Be sure to scrape up any browned bits, that's where all of the flavor is!
  • Add beef broth, dijon mustard, thyme, rosemary, Worcestershire sauce, and Better than Bouillon. Mix together until a smooth rich gravy begins to form.
  • Add the ground beef patties back into the gravy and bring mixture to a boil. Cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low heat. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the hamburger steaks are fully cooked (reach an internal temperature of 160-165 degrees F).

Notes

Substitutions
  • Gluten-Free: use gluten free breadcrumbs or omit them entirely. For the rich brown gravy gluten, use cornstarch instead of all purpose flour. Use the same amounts listed in the recipe card.
  • Dairy-free: sub out whole milk for your favorite dairy free milk. Also, use a plant based butter instead.
  • If you don't have beef broth, chicken broth works here as well.
