How to Make Hamburger Steaks with Delicious Brown Gravy:

To make the hamburger steaks:

1. In a medium bowl, crumble the ground beef and add salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix by hand until seasoning is evenly distributed, taking care not to overwork the meat.
2. Shape the ground beef into four thin hamburger steaks (about 1/2 inch thick).
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, cook the steaks on each side for 4-5 minutes or until nicely seared. Remove the steaks to a plate and set aside.

To make the brown gravy:

1. Reduce the frying pan temperature to medium. Pour off the pan drippings into a cup or bowl, measure 1/4 cup of the drippings then add back to the pan (the hamburgers should yield 1/4 cup of pan drippings but if you’re short, add vegetable oil or butter).
2. Add flour to the pan, then whisk to incorporate. Continue cooking and whisking for about 3-5 minutes or until the roux is medium brown.
3. Add beef stock and continue whisking for 2-3 minutes or until the gravy starts to thicken a little (gravy will be thin). Add salt and pepper to taste.
4. Add the hamburger steaks to the gravy, reduce heat to medium-low, then continue cooking, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until the meat juices run clear and the gravy has reduced and thickened.

Serve with white rice or mashed potatoes and enjoy the mouth-watering taste of these juicy hamburger steaks with delicious brown gravy.
