Ingredients
 
 

  • cup gluten-free panko bread crumbs or ¼ cup oat flour
  • 1 tablespoon oat milk or any non dairy milk
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion minced
  • 1 pound ground beef I use 80% lean
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon salt

For sauce

  • 4 tablespoons ketchup
  • 4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
 

  • Combine the panko and milk in a small cup, set aside.
  • Spread the minced onion on a microwave safe plate, drizzle olive oil, cover with cling wrap and microwave for one minute on high. Alternatively, you can heat up the olive oil in a pan and cook the minced onion for 2 minutes or until tender.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, salt, cooked onion, panko & milk mix together. Knead with hands for 2-3 minutes until well combined.
  • Split the mix into four, and make each into a flat oval shape.
  • Heat some oil in a pan, cook for 5-7 minutes on each side over medium low heat. You can test the doneness by inserting a toothpick or chopstick in the middle. If the juice coming out of the steak is clear, it's ready. (If not, the juice would be reddish, cloudy color)
  • Mix the ketchup and Worcestershire sauce to make the sauce.
  • Top the hamburger steaks with sauce. Optional: serve with vegetables and rice.

Notes

Do not touch the hamburger steak while cooking.
It is really important to keep the fire to medium low heat. You want to make sure to cook the inside completely without burning the surface.
