Type of Bourbon To Use

Use a good quality bourbon, but not too expensive a bourbon for this recipe. You can’t tell the difference between the two and that super expensive bottle of bourbon is best saved for sipping. I typically use Maker’s Mark. It is the one bourbon I always have in my liqueur cabinet.

Note: If you don’t like bourbon, you can make the gravy without bourbon.

Type Of Ground Beef To Use

For super moist and juicy hamburger patties, I like to use ground chuck. It’s high fat content prevents the steaks from drying out. You can use a slightly more lean ground beef, but you don’t want to go much leaner than 85% or your hamburger steaks will be tough and dry.

Hamburger Steaks with Bourbon Mushroom Gravy Recipe Tips

To make this dish spicy, add 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes to the gravy.

A cast iron skillet works really well for this recipe and will get a nice sear and crust on the outside of the hamburger steaks. A nonstick skillet also works well.

I like a thick gravy, but the gravy can easily be thinned with beef broth or milk.

Great served with some Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes and Peas or Southern-Style Green Beans.
