At my house growing up, Mother called it Hamburger Patties With Gravy.  

When I came into the Little family, this was one of the first meals I had, and the words Hamburger Steak With Creamy Gravy had a whole new meaning to me.  

My Mother-in-law shaped all the hamburger meat into one large 2-inch high square, and then she would put a layer of salt and pepper on the top and the bottom of the meat.  

Then, she would cut the steaks into the shape of a little rectangle and then dredge them in flour, salt, and pepper again.  

Her secret to mouthwatering steaks was to layer the seasonings (a woman with a lot of wisdom).

When I started making Hamburger Steak With Creamy Gravy, I added a few more seasonings than just salt and pepper and made mine into round patties or steak finger shape, but there was no changing the gravy.  

She would make it from the drippings in the bottom of the skillet with a little flour and milk,

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE HAMBURGER STEAK WITH CREAM GRAVY



HAMBURGER STEAK

Hamburger (recommend 85/15)

Salt and pepper to taste

Ground coriander

Onion powder

Garlic powder

Flour

Vegetable oil


GRAVY

Flour

milk (1/2 whole milk and half and half)

Salt and pepper



HOW TO MAKE HAMBURGER STEAK WITH CREAM GRAVY



HAMBURGER STEAK
  • In a medium bowl, mix the hamburger with salt and pepper, coriander, onion powder,  and garlic powder; shape into patties and place on a plate; set aside. 
  • Heat the oil (1/2 inch) in a large iron skillet over medium heat. Dredge (coat) patties in flour and salt and pepper; set on a platter. 
  • Fry in oil until they are nicely browned, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the beef patties to a plate and keep them warm. Sprinkle flour over the drippings in the skillet.

GRAVY
  • Stir in flour with a fork, scraping bits of beef off the bottom as you stir. Gradually mix in the milk and stir with a whisk.
  • Season with salt and pepper (and some of the same seasonings in the meat if you like).
  • Simmer and stir over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes until the gravy thickens.
  • Turn heat to low, return patties to the gravy, cover, and simmer for another 15 minutes (or serve patties on a platter and pour gravy over steaks).  I have done it both ways, and it is equally delicious.
