Ingredients
Method
- In a large bowl, gently combine the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Do not overmix.
- Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions, roll into balls, and flatten into small patties.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the patties for 3–4 minutes per side, working in batches if necessary. Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with foil.
- Drain excess fat if needed. Add the sliced onion and mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for about 4 minutes, until softened.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Pour in the sherry and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Add the beef broth and stir. Whisk the cornstarch and cold water together, then whisk the slurry into the gravy.
- Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet.
- Cover and simmer gently for 10–15 minutes, until the patties are cooked through and the gravy has thickened.
