Description
A traditional Amish hamburger steak bake made with seasoned ground beef patties, savory mushroom-onion gravy, and baked to perfection. This comforting one-pan meal is hearty, satisfying, and perfect for family dinners.
Ingredients
1.5 pounds ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
1 large egg
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
1 tablespoon butter or oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or cornstarch for gluten-free)
2 cups beef stock or broth
Optional: garlic powder, dried parsley, thyme
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently until just combined.
2. Shape into 4-6 patties and brown them in a skillet over medium-high heat. Set aside.
3. In the same pan, sauté onions and mushrooms in butter until golden and tender.
4. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir for 1-2 minutes.
5. Gradually pour in beef stock, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Simmer until thickened.
6. Return patties to the skillet or place them in a baking dish. Pour the gravy over the patties.
7. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
8. Let rest for a few minutes before serving with mashed potatoes, noodles, or bread.
Notes
Use gluten-free breadcrumbs and cornstarch if needed.
Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner version.
For extra richness, swap half the beef stock with heavy cream.
