Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 medium, diced Onion
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Milk or cream
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease, if necessary.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour evenly over the cooked beef and stir well to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Gradually pour the beef broth into the skillet while stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.

Step 7

Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, black pepper, and salt. Let the mixture simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the milk or cream for a richer, creamier flavor. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve the hamburg gravy hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or biscuits for a comforting meal.
