Sabrina’s Hamburger Steaks with Mushroom Gravy

Hamburger Steaks are a family favorite recipe for easy and tender steak dinners. Unlike most steak recipes where you need cuts of steak, this recipe uses ground beef. The meat is mixed with bread crumbs, eggs, salt, and pepper. Then the steak ingredients are formed into patties to cook. It’s finished with a simple, creamy mushroom gravy full of rich flavors.

Chef’s Note:

To finish the hearty meal, serve it with other classic comfort food dishes for your sides. mashed potatoes make the perfect pairing for the finished dish since they also taste incredible with the mushroom gravy poured over the top. Other potato dishes like Scalloped Potatoes or Potatoes au Gratin are excellent choices, too. And of course, a classic vegetable side dish like roasted broccoli or green beans would be a great way to finish the plate.

How to Store

  • Serve: After cooking, you shouldn’t leave steak at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
  • Store: Let the dish cool down completely, then transfer any leftovers to an airtight container. The recipe will stay good for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze: To keep the recipe longer, you can put it in a sealable container and freeze it for up to 4 months.

Variations

  • Spicy hamburger steaks: To make the classic dish spicy, try adding in spices like red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper. The spices can add a lot of heat, so only add a little bit at a time to make sure it’s not too spicy to enjoy.
  • Seasoned ground beef: Delicious Hamburger Steaks have plenty of flavor already in this recipe, but if you want some extra flavor you can add some different spices and seasonings. Try adding fresh thyme, parsley, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or an Italian seasoning blend.
  • Healthier recipe: If you want to make this dish a little bit lighter, just use lean ground beef in the patty. The leaner meat won’t be quite as juicy or flavorful, but the mushroom gravy will still add flavor to the dish.
  • Mushrooms: Instead of cremini mushrooms, you can try using white button mushrooms, wild mushrooms, or shiitake mushrooms.

  1. I only had 1 lb of Wagyu ground beef, so I changed the servings to 4 and it adjusted the amounts perfectly. This is so simple and delicious! I always try to keep cremini mushrooms on hand which make recipes like this a special treat! Will definitely make this again soon.

  7. Excellent! We put the patties over homemade mashed potatoes with green beans and spaetzle noodles as the sides. The mushroom sauce really put it together well. I do believe we used every pot and pan in the kitchen, though.

  8. We haven’t eaten much beef since the prices skyrocketed but this was a treat we will enjoy many times over. Who would’ve thought hamburger could taste so good.

  9. I made this for dinner a couple days ago. Thank you for this recipe, Sabrina! It was a hit! I made some dinner rolls and grilled some zucchini from our garden to go with the meal. Perfect!
