I love to serve it over mashed potatoes with peas or green beans. The gravy is simple. Only 5 ingredients. But the mushrooms give it a rich, earthy flavor.

How To Make Hamburger Steaks with Mushroom Gravy

  1. Combine all the hamburger steak ingredients in a large bowl, using just half the onion. Gently mix them together. Overmixing will lead to tough patties.
  2. Shape into 6 patties. I like to make them oval-shaped, but you can make them round.
  3. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet and cook the patties for 4 minutes per side. Note: You don’t need to cook them through at this point.
  4. Remove the patties from the skillet and cook the mushrooms and remaining onions in the drippings.
  5. Add the flour and cook for 1 minute.
  6. Whisk in the beef broth and return the patties to the skillet. Continue to cook until the gravy thickens and the patties are cooked through.

Recipe Tips

  • I like to use ground chuck for this recipe. It has a good amount of fat and lots of flavor. The fat helps the patties stay moist and tender. You can use a leaner ground beef but it may cook up a little dry.
  • Either white mushrooms or cremini mushrroms can be used. Cremini have more of an earthy flavor to them.
  • For even more flavor try adding a little bacon to the gravy.
  • To make this dish spicy, add 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes to the gravy.
  • Leftovers can be kept for 3 to 4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheated in the microwave.
  • The hamburger steak patties can be mixed and shaped up to 8 hours ahead of time.

  1. These are so good! But my patties always fall apart. Am I not mixing/squeezing them together ENOUGH? I’ve heard that you should let the meat come to room temp, so the fat helps them stick together, but that sounds dangerous to me.

    1. If the ground meat is too lean they will fall apart. I would try adding another egg to the mixture to help bind it together.
