Smothered Hamburger Steak Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, pepper, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Form into 8 balls, and flatten into patties.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties and onion in the oil until patties are nicely browned, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the beef patties to a plate, and keep warm.
• Sprinkle flour over the onions and drippings in the skillet. Stir in flour with a fork, scraping bits of beef off of the bottom as you stir. Gradually mix in the beef broth and sherry. Season with seasoned salt. Simmer and stir over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, until the gravy thickens. Turn heat to low, return patties to the gravy, cover, and simmer for another 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Whisk together the eggs, onion, beef base, and pepper in a bowl. Tear the bread into large pieces, and place into the bowl. Let the bread soak for a few seconds and add the ground beef. Mix the meat into the egg-bread mixture, and form into 8 patties.
• Heat a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat, and fry the patties until they are browned and the meat is no longer pink in the center, about 8 minutes per side. Set the patties aside.
• Remove the excess grease from the skillet, and whisk the mushroom soup, water, and Worcestershire sauce together in the skillet until smooth. Place the patties back into the skillet, spoon sauce over them to cover, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook until the sauce is thickened and the flavors have blended, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Note: If using lean ground beef, you may want to add a couple TBLS of olive oil to the meat to keep it moist during cooking.
• 2. Place 1/2 chopped mushrooms, & 1/2 c. finely chopped onions, 1/2 c. finely chopped celery & 1 tsp of olive oil in microwavable bowl. Stir ingredients to lightly coat veggies with O.O. Microwave for 2 min. or till nice & tender. Cool.
• 3. Mix together ground beef, seasoning & micro veggies. Form into oval shaped patties. Fry in skillet till done. Remove from skillet.
• 4. In same skillet used to cook patties, add 2 TBL of olive oil & saute 1 1/2 c of sliced onions & mushrooms till tender. Remove from skillet. Add alittle more olive oil if needed, add 1/2 c flour & make a roux, scraping bottom of pan to release the yummies, add alittle salt & pepper if desired. Cook on med heat for a couple of minutes to brown roux. Add beef stock stirring till thickened, return sauted onions & mushrooms to pan, mix in.
• 5. Place patties over a slice of toasted bread, cover with gravy, also great on mashed potatoes.

Steps:

• Dice onion and add to the ground beef. (If using onion soup mix, blend well in ground beef.).
• Mix and form into patties.
• Fry the patties in skillet on medium heat until cooked to your liking.
• I usually fry until they are medium-well to well done.
• While patties are cooking, mix 1 can cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 to 1 cup water or milk, and brown gravy packet/mix in a bowl, stirring well.
• After patties are browned and ready, add the soup mixture to the skillet. Reduce heat to simmer; spread the mixture over the patties and turn them once or twice as the mixture warms.
• Stir mixture occasionally.
• Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes or until gravy is good and hot.
• Serve with mashed potatoes, your choice of veggies, a good salad, hot rolls or bread, and a cold glass of iced tea.
• Of course, this recipe can be doubled. Serving size depends on how hungry your family or company is! ;).
• Kind of a "blue-plate" special!

Steps:
