Ingredients

2 pounds Ground Beef 90/10 or 85/15 burger
1 ½ teaspoons Kosher Salt divided
1 teaspoon Black Pepper divided
½ teaspoon Garlic Powder divided
2 Tablespoons Cooking Oil
2 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
¼ large Onion finely chopped
¾ large Onion sliced in rings
3 Tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
1 cup Water - Adjust the amount for thicker/thinner gravy.
1 teaspoon Beef Bouillon

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef with Worcestershire sauce and ¼ of a large onion, finely chopped. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder and lightly mix
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.
Over medium-high heat, preheat a large oven-proof skillet. Add the cooking oil. Brown the patties on both sides.
Remove the patties from the skillet, leaving behind the cooking juices to saute the sliced onions until tender.
Sprinkle in the flour stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes.
While stirring, add the cup of water and the beef bouillon. Stir until no lumps remain. Adjust seasoning by adding garlic powder, salt and pepper.
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.
Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles.

Notes

For tender, moist burgers, don't over-handle when shaping them. The goal is to have the patties stick together without ruining the fat particle structure.
