Prepare the following ingredients and start making that steak with rich onion gravy.
The Ingredients
For the patty:
- 2 lbs. Lean ground beef
- ½ cup Bread crumbs
- 1 Egg
- ½ cup Milk
- 1 tsp. Salt
- 1 tsp. Black Pepper
- 2 tbsp. Dried minced onion
- 2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
For the gravy:
- 2 pcs. Medium yellow onions (chopped or sliced)
- 1 tbsp. Beef base
- 4 cups water
- 2 tbsp. Corn starch
- 2 tbsp. water
Cooking the Patty
First, make the beef patty for your steak.
In a large bowl, pour in the egg, milk, salt, black pepper, minced onion, Worcestershire sauce, and bread crumbs. Stir until they are well mixed.
Once that’s done, add the ground beef and mix everything. Then, form the patty into whatever shape you like. Others like to do a flat patty like a burger, an oval-shaped patty, or a meatball.
Get a greased skillet or a pan with some oil over medium-high heat. Brown the patties for two minutes on each side. Take note that you are not trying to cook the patties here. This process is only to add some color to it.
After cooking each side for two minutes, take the patties out of the skillet and set them aside.
Making the Gravy
It’s time to make the gravy! Don’t take out the pan and clean it, nor turn off the stove. You’ll use the same pan for the gravy and still on medium-high heat.
Place your onion in the pan. Sauté until some juice comes out and they turn golden brown.
Then, add the beef base and two cups of water. Make sure that the beef base is thoroughly dissolved.
Place the steaks back in the pan. Bring it to a simmer, cover, and reduce to medium-low heat for 45-60 minutes. While that’s simmering, create a cornstarch slurry by mixing the cornstarch with two tablespoons of water.
After simmering, add the slurry to give your gravy a thick and creamy consistency. Mix the gravy until it has thickened.
Serve in a deep dish or pan and have a heart meal for the family.
