Hamburger Steak and Gravy – a satisfying family-favorite meal that uses less ingredients without compromising the taste. Made with ground beef steak and soaked in an onion mushroom gravy that is to-die for! Pure comfort food that comes easily together!
Perhaps the most crucial every day question that all wives and moms would face throughout their lives is, “What’s for dinner?”. If you’re a meal prepper, bless your heart, but if you’re more like me who usually lives in the moment and just wings it, bless our hearts, too. 😂
I tried to be a meal prepper with all those labels and food storage in the fridge, but it just wasn’t me. So most of the time, I just kinda wing it. Simple, easy and tasty are my three favorite food terms when it comes to family meals.
This Hamburger Steak and Gravy (or as some would call it Salisbury steak and gravy) definitely fits the bill!
It’s one of those easy meals that you can squeeze in your weekly rotation and nobody will complain. It’s made with seasoned ground beef, breadcrumbs and eggs mixture formed into thick hamburger patties/steaks and then pan-fried.
Don’t start with me on the sauce. It’s a savory onion mushroom gravy sauce that is sooo lethal. You’d unconsciously pour it all over whatever happens to be on the dining table. Rice, mashed potatoes, peas – you name it. It’s so perfect with almost anything!
You see right there, I also added this good ole Southern Fried Corn on the side for an added texture to my meal. Oh boy, it was a fantastic meal that soothes the soul!
You can go as simple as this or sneak in some veggies in the hamburger steaks like bell pepper, carrots, potatoes or celery to make your kids eat veggies. They won’t complain at all. And you can even stop right there and just pair these bad boys here with ketchup. It sure works, too!
But of course, this Hamburger Steak is utterly perfect when paired with gravy ’cause dads and hubbies like it that way.
So if you’re looking for a great family weeknight meal OR for this coming Father’s Day celebration that is no-fuss and comes together in no time, you sure need to add this to your recipe box. And don’t worry, I have loads of special and hearty recipe ideas for you to choose from to impress all the Pops out there. 😉
Happy Father’s Day!

Tips and Notes:
- You got to make your patties large and thick as they’ll shrink and puff a little as they cook.
- Don’t worry if hamburger steaks are not completely cooked through. They will finish cooking in the gravy.
- You may replace the ground beef with ground pork, turkey or venison. Your call!
- As always, if you want to go with the easiest route, you can use frozen beef patties to go along with the gravy recipe.
- If you’re making the beef mixture from scratch, you can let them sit in the fridge for a bit to firm up before frying.
- Double the gravy recipe if you want more of it to top your rice or mashed potatoes. 😉
- You may leave out the mushrooms and just go with onions if you’re not a big fan.

I made this recipe yesterday. It was very easy to make and tasted really good! I cooked the patties an extra 8-10 minutes until they were over 165 degrees. I will definitely make again.

Thank you, Tammie! Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Anita says
Husband says it “A Keeper”. I thickened gravy with a cornstarch slurry at the end. Just a preference. This is as down-home as it gets. High in calorie but worth the splurge. Thanks

11/10/19 – 5 stars! Just made this recipe and everyone loved it. Husband ranted and raved, so it will be put on heavy rotation for our dinner recipes! I got my 16yo daughter to make breadcrumbs while I was out, and I had my 14yo son chop up a full onion so it was a little less work for me to do when I got home and everyone felt they had their “hand” in the recipe. What a win! The only modification I made is I used ground turkey and no mushrooms due to my allergies but this was a HIT!!! Thanks so much for sharing this.
Imma says
Shelly! I’m glad your whole family enjoyed and you put them to work haha! Dinner truly tastes better when the entire family had a hand in it. Thank you so much for stopping by 🙂

Let me start this by saying DanG that’s some good eatin’ Right there! Lol! I’ve never heard of hamburger steak in my 42 years. I’ve heard of Salisbury steak, but to me this is waaayyy different. I’ve used your recipe line by line and word for word. Saying that I’ve made this recipe so much would be and understatement. My husband and very picky 18 year old love this. They now think I’m a cooking guru. When I make this there is never any leftovers. They just devour it and complain afterwards, but in a good way. Thank you so much for your recipe! You so rock . Perfection!!!
ImmaculateBites says
Aww, thank you Barbara. This is a family favourite too! And yes, you are a cooking Guru. Thanks for stopping by!
Kittie Moe says
I made this recipe for my husband and me. We really enjoyed it. We have had it two times this week. I did make a few adjustments just for our personal taste. I used Italian seasoned bread crumbs. I used one half pound ground chuck and one half pound ground pork. I used less salt and garlic powder instead of minced garlic. I didn’t have fresh mushrooms so I used canned stems and pieces. Everything turned out great. I will make this recipe again and again. We really liked it. Also, I have never made gravy with the method used in this recipe. I love it, it’s much easier than the old method my mother taught me. I will make my gravy with this method from now on. I will also pass it on to my daughter. Thank you for this great recipe.
imma africanbites says
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, Kittie. Glad you and your husband enjoyed this. And thank for your glowing feedback. I appreciate it.
