The Cracker Barrel Hamburger Steak Recipe is a classic comfort food loved for its juicy beef patties and rich onion gravy.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef 80% lean
- 1 small onion chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Patties
- In a bowl, mix ground beef, onion, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Shape the mixture into 4 thick patties.
Step 2: Cook the Patties
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a little butter or oil. Cook the patties for 4–5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Step 3: Make the Gravy
- In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add flour and stir for one minute to make a roux. Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring. Add soy sauce and onion powder. Stir until the gravy thickens.
Step 4: Combine and Simmer
- Place the cooked patties back into the skillet. Spoon some gravy over each patty. Simmer on low heat for 5 minutes to soak in the flavor.
Step 5: Serve
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or green beans.
Notes
- Use fresh ground beef for juicy patties.
- Don’t press the patties while cooking.
- Add sliced onions for more flavor.
- Stir the gravy constantly to avoid lumps.
- Let the patties rest before serving.
