Amazing Hamburger Steak With Gravy

Can you get a really steak-like flavor in a hamburger steak? Yes! Seasoned well and carefully cooked you can indeed get that special flavor. Even better, this is an easy dish -- no harder than throwing together a fast hamburger. Note: this can be made lactose-free by substituting beef stock for the milk.

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

• Hamburger Steaks

• 2  lbs lean ground beef
• 1  onion, chopped
• 2 -3  tablespoons  dry steak seasoning (I used McCormick Steak Rub)
• 1 -2  garlic clove, crushed
• 1⁄2 cup oatmeal
• 1⁄4 cup milk
• 2  eggs
•  salt and pepper

• Gravy

• 1⁄4 cup red wine or 1⁄4 cup white wine or 1⁄4 cup sherry wine, according to taste
• 2  cups milk
• 3  tablespoons cornstarch

Directions

1. Mix the hamburger steak ingredients thoroughly. Let rest 5 minutes.
2. Form meat into 6-8, oval patties.
3. Heat a little olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high.
4. Cook hamburger steaks over medium-high heat so that they are well-browned and cooked through. There will probably be 2 or 3 batches depending on skillet size.
5. Pour off excess grease.
6. Deglaze pan with the wine -- scraping up the good, brown bits.
7. Shake milk and cornstarch together well and add to pan.
8. Turn heat down. Bring gravy to a simmer, stirring constantly.
9. Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, bread, or anything else that tastes good under gravy.
10. Note: this can be made lactose-free by substituting beef stock for the milk. If you do not have genuine stock a good soup base will give better results than bullion cubes. Or use the dripping from roasts or pot roasts, thinned down with up to 50% water.
