Amish Hamburger Steak Bake
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
For the Gravy
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s ready when your steaks are assembled.
Step 2: Mix the Patties
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until everything is just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender. Shape into 4–5 oval patties.
Step 3: Sear the Meat
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the patties for about 2–3 minutes on each side until browned, then transfer them to a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 4: Make the Gravy
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour to create a roux, cooking for 1–2 minutes. Gradually whisk in beef broth until smooth, then add Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer 3–4 minutes until thickened.
Step 5: Bake
Pour the gravy over the patties in the baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 30–35 minutes, until the steaks are cooked through and tender.
Step 6: Serve
Dish out the steaks hot with plenty of gravy spooned over the top. Pair with mashed potatoes, noodles, or your favorite side for the ultimate comfort meal.
This Amish Hamburger Steak Bake is everything you want in a family dinner—easy, filling, and packed with flavor. Once you try it, you’ll be adding it to your weekly meal rotation.
