Ingredients
- Ground beef (preferably 80% lean) – 1 pound (450g)
- Onion powder – 1 teaspoon
- Garlic powder – 1 teaspoon
- Worcestershire sauce – 1 tablespoon
- Salt – 1/2 teaspoon (or to taste)
- Pepper – 1/4 teaspoon (or to taste)
- Olive oil or butter – 1 tablespoon (for frying)
- Fresh parsley – 1 tablespoon (optional, for garnish)
- Optional toppings:
- Brown gravy – 1/2 cup (optional)
- Sautéed onions – 1/2 cup (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ground Beef Mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with onion powder, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly incorporated, being careful not to overmix. - Shape the Chopped Steaks
Divide the beef mixture into portions and shape them into 1 to 1.5-inch thick patties. Ensure the edges are smooth and even. - Heat the Pan
Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped steaks, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet. - Cook the Steaks
Cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until browned and fully cooked. The internal temperature should be 160°F (71°C) for fully cooked ground beef. - Rest the Steaks
Let the cooked steaks rest on a plate for 3-5 minutes to redistribute the juices. - Serve and Garnish
Serve the chopped steaks with freshly chopped parsley. Optionally, top with brown gravy or sautéed onions.
Notes
- Don’t Overmix the Beef: Overworking the beef can lead to tough steaks. Mix gently until incorporated.
- Customize the Seasonings: Add smoked paprika or dried thyme to enhance flavor.
- Gravy Tip: Add a bit of drippings from the skillet into the gravy for extra flavor.
