Hamburger steaks, caramelized onions, and gravy from Bayou: Feasting Through the Seasons of a Cajun Life (page 315) by Melissa M. Martin

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    See recipe for beef stock p. 347. Can substitute cane vinegar or apple cider vinegar for sherry.

    This was underwhelming. The onions took about 2.5x as long to caramelize as the recipe stated, which is not unexpected. Ultimately, the gravy lacked depth despite all the caramelized onions and sherry, and the hamburgers were just fine. I won't be making this again. I served with a green salad, as the recipe recommends.
