Hamburg steak

Hey there kiddo! So, have you ever had a hamburger? Yeah, yummy right! Now, let's talk about something called 'Hamburg steak'. It's kind of like a hamburger, but it's a little different.

You see, a hamburg steak is actually the first form of what we now call the hamburger. It's a beef patty that's made from ground beef, just like a hamburger patty. But it's mixed with some onions, breadcrumbs, and other yummy ingredients to make it really flavorful.

Once it's all mixed up, the mixture is formed into a patty and then cooked. Sometimes it's cooked on a grill, like a hamburger, but sometimes it's cooked in a pan on the stove.

So, it's just like a really yummy hamburger patty, except it's traditionally served with gravy poured on top. Some people also like to eat it with some mashed potatoes or other yummy sides.

So, that's what hamburg steak is all about. It's a very yummy and classic dish that people have been enjoying for a long, long time!
