Making the Brown Gravy:
- Prepare the Roux:
- In the same skillet used to cook the patties, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour to the melted butter, stirring constantly to create a roux. Cook the roux for a few minutes until it turns a light golden brown color.
- Adding Beef Broth:
- Slowly pour in the beef broth while continuously whisking to prevent lumps from forming. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined with the roux.
- Seasoning and Simmering:
- Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the gravy, adjusting the seasoning to your taste. Stir well to incorporate the flavors.
- Allow the gravy to simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Serving:
- Once the gravy reaches your preferred thickness, return the hamburger steaks to the skillet, spooning some of the gravy over them.
- Allow the steaks to simmer in the gravy for a couple of minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Serve the hamburger steaks hot, topped with the rich brown gravy. They pair wonderfully with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
Enjoy this hearty and comforting meal of hamburger steaks with flavorful brown gravy!
