Amish Hamburger Steak Bake
A comforting and hearty dish that combines ground beef with a rich gravy, perfect for family dinners or cozy meals with friends.
Ingredients
For the patties
- 2 lbs Ground beef (80/20 blend for best flavor)
- 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs (Plain or seasoned)
- 1 Egg (Beaten)
- 1 Onion (Finely diced)
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
For the gravy
- 3 tbsp Butter (Salted or unsalted)
- 3 tbsp All-purpose flour (For thickening gravy)
- 2 cups Beef broth (Low sodium preferred)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 Onion (Sliced)
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, gently mix together the ground beef, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, diced onion, salt, and pepper.
- Form this mixture into 6–8 oval-shaped patties. Let them rest while you prepare the gravy base.
Cooking
- In an oven-safe skillet, brown the patties for 3–4 minutes on each side until they are golden. Remove them and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté the sliced onions in butter until they are soft. Add the flour and stir for about 2 minutes.
- Slowly whisk in the beef broth and cream until the mixture is smooth.
- Nestle the cooked patties back into the gravy. Cover tightly and bake at 350°F for 45 minutes. Then uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Serve the patties with creamy gravy over mashed potatoes or rice. Add a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal. For extra flavor, consider adding Worcestershire sauce or chopped jalapeño to the mixture.
