I love recipes where I can just set it and forget it. My favorite recipes are those that are easy for people to prepare when they get home from a long day at work. As a full time employee, I totally understand the need for good, homemade meals that don't take up all the evening time! This, is one of those!

This hamburger steak recipe is one that you can put in the oven, let it roast for 40 minutes, and come back to a delicious meal. The onions and mushrooms cook right in with the beef and make the perfect complement to this fast weeknight dish!

What do I need to Make Hamburger Steak?

Ground Beef

Traditionally, made on the stovetop, hamburger steak is a fast and comforting weeknight dish. By putting in the oven, I cut the prep time so you can set it and forget it! The texture is slightly different because the outside of the meat doesn't get the stovetop crunch that you may be used to. Once it is finished cooking, you can turn the broiler on high for about 4 minutes and get the top crunch back a little!

Onions and mushrooms

Onions and mushrooms add flavor to this meal. Traditionally, they would be served on hamburger steak with gravy (well int he south at least). I am not a gravy fan, so I kept the vegetables and added them in the dish so they are soft and delicious to eat with the hamburger meat.

Seasonings

I love the flavor that steak sauce gives to hamburger steak, so adding it in was a no brainer here. I find it more flavorful and less salty than traditional steak seasoning. Add more or less salt based on your tastes, and add the black pepper in for a nice balanced flavor pairing.

Notes

Steak sauce- I like A1 but there are many options. Again, you can use a steak seasoning or marinade if you prefer.

Crust- to create a slight crust on the hamburger steak, broil it in oven after cooking. Try 3-5 minutes but remember to watch it closely. Broiler times vary.
