  8. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  9. Make the Garlic Mushroom Gravy
  10. In the same skillet, add the butter.

  16. If using, stir in the heavy cream for extra richness.
  17. Finish the Dish
  18. Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet.
  19. Spoon the gravy over the patties and simmer for 5–7 minutes, until the steaks are fully cooked and the gravy is thickened.

Notes

  • Use 80/20 ground beef for the juiciest hamburger steaks.
  • If you want a stronger garlic flavor, add 1 extra minced garlic clove.
  • Serve with mashed cauliflower, sautéed green beans, or roasted vegetables for a low-carb meal.
  • If the gravy gets too thick, add a splash of extra beef broth.
