Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1½ pounds (680 g) ground beef
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix together the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, finely diced onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix gently until just combined to avoid tough patties.
- Shape Patties: Form the mixture into 4 to 6 oval-shaped patties, ensuring they are evenly sized for uniform cooking.
- Heat Skillet: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat till shimmering.
- Cook Patties: Place patties in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until they are browned on the outside and cooked through inside.
- Rest Patties: Remove from heat and let the patties rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Serve: Serve the hamburger steaks with sides such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a hearty meal.
Notes
- Do not overmix the meat to keep the patties tender.
- Ground chuck with an 80/20 fat ratio offers the best flavor and juiciness.
- Optional toppings like sautéed onions or mushrooms add extra flavor.
