Ah, you’re talking about “steaks de hamburger avec gravier d’oignon”, which literally translates from French as hamburger steaks with onion gravy—basically a homemade Salisbury steak-style dish. 🍔🧅🍽️
Here’s a straightforward way to make it:
Hamburger Steaks with Onion Gravy (Steaks de Hamburger avec Gravier d’Oignon)
Ingredients (for 2–3 servings):
For the steaks:
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional, for depth)
For the onion gravy:
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp butter or oil
- 1 tbsp flour
- 1 cup beef broth (or water + bouillon)
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Make the hamburger steaks:
- In a bowl, mix ground beef, chopped onion, egg, breadcrumbs, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Form into 2–3 oval patties.
- Cook the patties:
- Heat a pan over medium heat with a little oil.
- Cook the patties 4–5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove and keep warm.
- Make the onion gravy:
- In the same pan, add butter and sliced onions. Cook until soft and golden, 5–7 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour over onions, stir for 1–2 minutes to make a roux.
- Slowly add beef broth while stirring, simmer until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve:
- Place hamburger steaks on a plate and pour the onion gravy over them.
- Optional: serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed veggies.
💡 Tip: If you want extra flavor, caramelize the onions a little longer—they’ll give a rich, slightly sweet taste to the gravy.
If you want, I can also give a fancier French-style version with wine and herbs in the gravy that makes it feel like a restaurant dish.
Do you want me to do that?
