Hamburger Steak And Onions With Gravy - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Steak and Onions
1 lb ground chuck
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, plus an extra dash
1 cup halved thinly sliced onion
1 tablespoon oil
Gravy
2 tablespoons self-rising flour
1 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon dry sherry (don't use cooking sherry)
salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation

Mix together the ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, pepper, seasoned salt, onion powder, garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce. Form into 4 patties, or as many as you want, depending on how large you want your \"steaks\".
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties and onions in the oil until patties are nicely browned, about 4 minutes per side, or until done if not making gravy. Remove the patties to paper towels.
If NOT MAKING GRAVY, continue cooking the onions until they turn golden brown and caramelize. Remove onions and serve atop hamburger \"steaks\". Stop here!
If MAKING GRAVY, sprinkle flour over the onions and drippings in the skillet. Stir, scraping up brown bits off the bottom as you go. Gradually add the beef broth and sherry.
Bring to a boil, then simmer and stir over medium-low heat about 5 minutes, or until gravy thickens. Taste and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper as needed.
Reduce heat to low, return patties to the gravy, cover and simmer 15 minutes or until cooked through.
