Hamburger Steak with Onions and Gravy Tasty & Easy with a Bit of Work

If you like hamburger, gravy, and onions, you'll probably enjoy this recipe from allrecipes.com (http://allrecipes.com/recipe/hamburger-steak-with-onions-and-gravy/). It's easy to prepare, but takes a little bit of work. It serves 4 and takes a total of about an hour to prepare and cook. I served it with broccoli one night, and the leftovers with carrots and rum.

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
1 egg
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp seasoned salt
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 cup thinly-sliced onion (about half a medium onion)
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 cup beef broth
1 tbsp cooking sherry

Directions

1. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, pepper, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Form into 8 balls and flatten into patties.
2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties and onion in the oil until patties are nicely browned, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the patties to a plate, and keep warm (I covered them with a skillet cover).
3. Sprinkle flour over the onions and drippings in the skillet. Stir in flour with a fork, scraping bits of beef off the bottom as you stir. Gradually mix in the beef broth and sherry. (I mixed the sherry into the beef broth first.) Season with seasoned salt.
4. Simmer and stir over medium-low heat about 5 minutes, until the gravy thickens. Turn heat to low; return patties to the gravy; cover; and simmer for another 15 minutes.
