Ground beef is a dinnertime staple around here for quick and easy recipes from taco casserole to our favorite chili recipe! It’s a great way to get dinner on the table quickly!

What is Hamburger Steak?

Very similar to Salisbury Steak, hamburger steak is a savory blend of ground beef, seasonings, and onions cooked in a rich brown gravy.

We love homemade beef patties but you can use pre-made burger patties instead if you prefer.

How to Make Hamburger Steak

  1. Prepare beef patties (you can use frozen in a pinch) and brown the outsides.
  2. Soften onions and mushrooms in butter.
  3. Whisk in flour and beef broth and simmer the patties in the gravy until tender and cooked through.

Got Leftovers?

Fried hamburger steaks make great leftovers! Perfect for a workday lunch on a cold day! For next-day eating, keep leftover hamburger steaks and gravy in a sealable container and the mashed potatoes in a separate one.

Reheat in the microwave, stirring after two minutes. Or place in a skillet and reheat on low.

  1. I have made this before and my family loves it. We like more gravy. Should I just double the recipe?

  2. I love your recipes and really enjoy these Hamburger Steaks! I have 2 recommendations…Crush flavored croutons, the flavor of choice, instead of bread crumbs, and, use either Campbells Condensed French Onion Soup plus 1 can of water, or, their Beef Consomme with 1 can of water…Either of these flavors will take this recipe over the top! Please try!5 stars
