- ½ cup yellow onion, very finely minced
- 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
- 3 teaspoons Worcestershire
- 3 cloves garlic, minced

Gravy:
- 2 yellow onions, sliced into ¾ inch strings
- 3 Tablespoons cold unsalted butter, separated
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup cold water + 3 tablespoons corn starch
Directions:
- Prepare the Steaks:

- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the hamburger steaks on each side for 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
- Make the Gravy:
- Decrease heat to medium-low. Melt 2 Tablespoons butter in the pan and add the onions. Cook for 15-20 minutes until the onions soften and caramelize.
- Add chicken broth, beef broth, onion powder, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Lift any remnants from the pan for extra flavor.
- Mix in the cornstarch and cold water until combined.
- Bring the gravy to a boil and whisk in the cornstarch mixture. Decrease heat to medium, continue to whisk.
- Finish the Meal:
- Add the steaks back to the pan and cover for 10 minutes until cooked through (internal temperature should be 160 degrees).
- Swirl in the remaining 1 TBS cold butter at the end for a velvety finish to the gravy.
- Spoon the gravy on top, sprinkle with parsley, and serve with mashed potatoes and roasted carrots!
Notes:
- Enhance with cooked and crumbled bacon or top with melted Swiss cheese.
