They are basically just glorified hamburgers. Do you ever wonder where some dishes get their name from? Here is the definition of Hamburger Steak.
If you like onions, may I suggest that you add them to yours. Only if you have picky eater, might you consider to leave them out.
What is the difference between a Hamburger and a Hamburger Steak?
A hamburger is a patty by itself, most often as a sandwich. Usually, a hamburger steak is typically served with sauce/gravy.
What is the difference between a Salisbury Steak and a Hamburger Steak?
A hamburger steak usually has no fillers like breadcrumbs. In most cases, it is just the meat and spices, then served with a gravy or sauce. A Salisbury Steak will have the filler like breadcrumbs and is cooked in gravy. I guess mine would be considered Fried Salisbury Steaks???
In my opinion, I think they differ based on the texture. For instance, Hamburger Steaks have a tougher “outside”. Whereas, Salisbury steaks are tender, inside and out.
My apologies for not taking enough pictures with this recipe. I managed to get a few of the final product, which I guess means my head was back in the game by then.
