Oven Baked Hamburger Steak with Gravy

If you grew up on Oven Baked Hamburger Steaks with Gravy, this oven-baked version will take you right back to the retro Formica table at Grandma's house.

The one-pan hamburger steaks are tender and full of beefy flavor. But that gravy...

I could drink it straight out of a cup. However, I usually try to be a bit more civilized and pour it over Twice Baked Mashed Potatoes or Red Potatoes in Air Fryer, instead.

Ingredients for Hamburger Steaks with Brown Gravy

• Ground Beef - 90/10 or 85/15 burger is best for this recipe since you don't drain the cooking fat off.
• Kosher Salt - adjust to your preference
• Black Pepper
• Garlic Powder - easy access garlic flavor, but use fresh if you like
• Cooking Oil - I use olive oil here, but any oil you like will work
• Worcestershire Sauce - adds the umami we all crave
• Onion, finely chopped - for inside the hamburger steaks
• Onion, sliced in rings - holds up well in the gravy
• All-Purpose Flour - to thicken the gravy. Use cornstarch for a gluten free version.
• Water - Adjust the amount for thicker/thinner gravy.
• Beef Bouillon - I like Better Than Bouillon brand the most for flavor and ease

How to Make Oven Baked Hamburger Steaks with Brown Onion Gravy

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2. In a large bowl, combine and lightly mix ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and ¼ of a large onion, finely chopped.
3. Divide the mixture into 6 equal patties about 1-inch thick. Avoid handling the patties too much as this causes them to be dry and tough.
4. Over medium-high heat, preheat a large oven-proof skillet. Add the cooking oil. Brown the patties on both sides.
5. Remove the patties from the skillet, leaving behind the cooking juices to saute the sliced onions until tender.
6. Sprinkle in the flour, salt, and pepper, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes.
7. While stirring, add the cup of water and the beef bouillon. Stir until no lumps remain.
8. Return the patties to the skillet, cover with a lid or foil, and bake for 20-25 minutes. Add more water if the gravy gets too thick. For well-done Hamburger Steaks, cook until the internal temperature is 160 degrees F.
9. Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles.

Hint: Let the patties actually brown before moving or flipping them. Do not smash the patties down as this pushes out the tasty cooking juices.
