Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl, gently combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, diced onion, salt, and pepper until just mixed.
Form mixture into 6-8 oval-shaped patties about 3/4 inch thick.
Heat large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown hamburger steaks 3-4 minutes per side until golden and set aside leaving drippings in pan.
Add butter to skillet with drippings. Sauté sliced onions until softened and lightly golden about 5-6 minutes.
Sprinkle flour over onions and cook 2 minutes stirring constantly to create roux.
Gradually whisk in beef broth and heavy cream stirring until smooth and no lumps remain.
Stir in garlic powder and simmer 1-2 minutes until gravy thickens slightly.
Nestle browned hamburger steaks back into gravy and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake covered for 45 minutes then remove foil and bake 15 minutes more until gravy thickens.
Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use 80/20 ground beef for best flavor and moisture
Don’t skip browning the patties for essential flavor development
Whisk gravy constantly while adding liquids to prevent lumps
Cover tightly during most of baking to keep hamburger steaks tender and juicy
Store covered in refrigerator up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months
