Ingredients
  

For the Hamburger Steak

  • 1 tbsp cooking oil
  • 1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 1/2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire or teriyaki sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • salt, to taste
  • pepper, to taste

For the Sauce

  • 2 tbsp red wine
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tsp brown sugar

Instructions
 

  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion slices and saute until tender. Turn off the heat and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, combine the beef, egg, breadcrumbs, milk, Worcestershire or teriyaki sauce, garlic powder, and salt and pepper in a large bowl. Use your hands to mix the ingredients together until just combined.
  • Form the mixture into four oval-shaped patties. Place them on a baking tray and transfer them into the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  • Heat a skillet to medium-high with 1 tbsp of oil. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Slowly add red wine to the pan, then lower the heat and cover the pan for another 4-7 minutes until the inside of each patty is cooked to your liking, or at least 160 degrees.
  • Move the patties to a plate tented with foil to rest while you make the sauce. Turn the pan’s heat to low, and carefully add the rest of the sauce ingredients to the same pan. Scrape the bottom of the pan to incorporate all the cooked bits of hamburger steak into the sauce.
  • Raise the heat to medium, and allow the mixture to come to a low boil, stirring occasionally. Once it boils, lower the heat and allow to simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  • Serve with the sauce poured over each patty, and top the patties with the cooked onions.
