Making the Brown Gravy:
- Prepare the Roux:
- In the same skillet used to cook the patties, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour to the melted butter, stirring constantly to create a roux. Cook the roux for a few minutes until it turns a light golden brown color.
- Adding Beef Broth:
- Slowly pour in the beef broth while continuously whisking to prevent lumps from forming. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined with the roux.
- Seasoning and Simmering:
- Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the gravy, adjusting the seasoning to your taste. Stir well to incorporate the flavors.
- Allow the gravy to simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Serving:
- Once the gravy reaches your preferred thickness, return the hamburger steaks to the skillet, spooning some of the gravy over them.
- Allow the steaks to simmer in the gravy for a couple of minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Serve the hamburger steaks hot, topped with the rich brown gravy. They pair wonderfully with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
