Step by Step Instructions for Making French Onion Hamburger Steaks
STEP 1:
To make these hamburger steaks, I started by dropping some lean ground beef in a large mixing bowl.
I added some onion soup mix to the bowl.
STEP 2:
I also added some crispy fried onions and and egg.
I added salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce.
STEP 3:
I used my hands to combine all of the ingredients well.
I divided the ground beef mixture into four equal portions.
I flattened and formed each portion into a patty.
STEP 4:
I heated a large oven safe skillet over medium-high heat.
When skillet was hot I added the hamburger patties to the skillet.
STEP 5:
Once they were browned on the bottom, I flipped the patties to cook the other side.
After the patties were browned nicely on both sides, I transferred them to a plate and set them aside.
STEP 6:
I added some butter to the skillet over medium heat.
Once the butter was melted, I added some sliced onions to the skillet.
I stirred and continued cooking the onions until they were softened and starting to brown.
STEP 7:
I added some all purpose flour to the skillet.
I stirred the onions and flour together well and continued cooking for a few minutes.
STEP 8:
I added some beef broth to the skillet with the flour and onion mixture.
I stirred until a smooth, thick mixture formed.
STEP 9:
I reduced the heat to medium-low and returned the hamburger patties to the skillet.
I allowed the patties to simmer in the gravy for a few minutes to warm them back up.
STEP 10:
Then I placed a slice of provolone cheese on top of each patty.
I sprinkled some crispy fried onions over the cheese.
STEP 11:
I placed the skillet in the oven under the broiler until the cheese was completely melted and the fried onions were browned.
I removed the skillet from the oven and sprinkled some fresh chopped parsley over the hamburger steaks.
Then the French onion hamburger steaks were ready to serve.
I served my hamburger steaks and gravy with some mashed potatoes.
The onion soup mix and crispy fried onions give these beef patties tons of flavour and great texture.
The melted provolone cheese and gravy add a delightful richness to the dish.
You could also make these patties without the gravy and serve them as hamburgers.
