HAMBURGER STEAKS WITH ONION-MUSHROOM GRAVY

My mom would make hamburger steaks (AKA Salisbury steaks) for weeknight meals. She preferred to roast a chicken or beef or make fried chicken on Sundays and I am the same way. This is such a Southern comfort meal. Mama didn't add the mushrooms, but I love mushrooms. Serve this with mashed potatoes and a side of collards or peas.




1 lb lean ground beef
1 t sea salt
½ t fine ground black pepper
½ t paprika
½ t garlic powder
1 t Worcestershire sauce
1 large egg
¼ cup plain dry breadcrumbs
2 T unsalted butter
1 yellow or sweet onion, cut in half and sliced
6 white mushrooms, cleaned, trimmed, and thinly sliced 
2 T all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
1 t beef concentrate or Kitchen Bouquet

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, egg, and bread crumbs.
Shape into 4 somewhat oval patties.

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add the butter.
Once butter has melted, brown the patties on each side for about 5 minutes.

Remove patties to a plate and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium-low and add the sliced onion and mushrooms.
Cook onions and mushrooms for 15 minutes, stirring often.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and mushrooms and stir for a couple of minutes.
Add the beef broth and beef concentrate or Kitchen Bouquet and stir well.

Return beef patties to the skillet, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer 15 minutes.

Serves 4
