Ingredients for Grass-Fed, Grain-Finished Hamburger Steak:
- 1 lb. grass-fed, grain-finished ground beef
- 1 large egg
- 3 tbsp. bread crumbs
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. onion powder
- 1/2 tsp. paprika
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp. butter
- 8 oz. sliced mushrooms
- 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp. fresh thyme leaves
Directions for Grass-Fed, Grain-Finished Hamburger Steak:
Step 1: Prepare the Patties
- In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to your liking.
- Divide the beef mixture into four equal parts. Shape each portion into oval patties, flattening them to about ½ inch thickness. Set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Patties
- Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Place the patties in the skillet and cook for 6 to 8 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Once done, remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside on a plate to keep warm.
Step 3: Make the Mushroom and Onion Gravy
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and onions to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the veggies, stirring to coat them evenly. Gradually whisk in the beef broth, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and fresh thyme leaves. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the gravy has thickened, roughly 5 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper according to your taste.
Step 4: Serve
- Return the cooked patties to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy.
- Spoon some of the mushroom and onion gravy over the patties.
- Continue to cook for a few minutes until everything is warmed through.
Serve your grass-fed, grain-finished hamburger steaks hot, ideally with a side of mashed potatoes or your favorite vegetables, to soak up that delicious gravy. Enjoy a dish that promises not only depth of flavor but a comforting embrace with every bite.
