Southern Steak is classic comfort food—seasoned beef patties smothered in rich onion gravy. It’s simple, hearty, and perfect with maHamburger shed potatoes or rice.
🍔 Ingredients
For the patties:
- 500 g ground beef
- ¼ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp paprika
For the onion gravy:
- 2 tbsp butter or oil
- 1 large onion (sliced)
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt & pepper (to taste)
🍳 Instructions
1. Make the patties
Mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and seasonings.
Form into oval-shaped patties (like mini steaks).
2. Sear
Heat a skillet over medium-high. Cook patties for 3–4 minutes per side until browned.
Remove and set aside (they’ll finish cooking in gravy).
3. Make onion gravy
In the same pan:
- Add butter and sliced onions
- Cook until soft and golden (about 8–10 minutes)
- Sprinkle flour and stir for 1–2 minutes
Slowly add beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps.
Add Worcestershire, salt, and pepper.
4. Simmer
Return patties to the pan.
Cover and simmer on low for 15–20 minutes until fully cooked and tender.
🍽️ Serving Ideas
- Mashed potatoes (best for soaking up gravy)
- White rice
- Buttered green beans or corn
- Biscuits or cornbread
🔥 Pro Tips
- Don’t overmix the meat—keeps patties tender
- Let gravy thicken slowly for best flavor
- Add mushrooms to the gravy for extra depth
- A splash of cream at the end makes it richer
🌶️ Variations
- Spicy: Add cayenne or chili flakes
- Smoky: Add a little smoked paprika
- Extra juicy: Mix a bit of grated onion into the patties
