Ingredients

½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1½ pounds lean ground beef 85 percent
½ cup panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons Lipton Onion Soup and Dip Mix
2 tablespoon butter
1 large onion sliced in rings
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley optional for garnish

Instructions

Make the Hamburger Steaks

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, panko bread crumbs, and onion soup mix.
1½ pounds lean ground beef, ½ cup panko bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons Lipton Onion Soup and Dip Mix
Gently mix until just combined, then form into four patties about 4 inches in diameter and ½ inch thick.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat.
2 tablespoon butter
Cook the patties until well browned and the meat reaches 130 degrees Fahrenheit, about 4 minutes per side.
Transfer the patties to a platter and tent loosely with foil to keep them warm.

Make the Gravy

Remove excess grease from the pan if you have more than 2 tablespoons.(note* if your pan does not have much grease from your hamburger I suggest adding 2 extra tablespoons of butter.)
Add the onions to the now-empty skillet and cook over medium-high heat until well browned, about 5 to 7 minutes.
1 large onion
Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Stir in the beef broth, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, and cook until thickened, about 1 minute.
½ teaspoon salt, 2 cup beef broth, ½ teaspoon pepper

Serve

Spoon the onions gravy over the hamburger steaks.
Sprinkle with minced parsley and serve hot.
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Notes

Gravy Tip: If your gravy feels a little too thick, add extra beef broth to thin it out a little bit.

Storage: Store leftover hamburger steaks and onion gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Freezing: Cool completely, then freeze the patties and gravy in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
Reheating: Warm in a skillet over medium-low heat until heated through, adding a splash of broth or water if the gravy is too thick. Microwave individual portions if needed.
