What is a steakette made of?

A steakette is made from ground beef seasoned with simple spices like garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce. Unlike hamburger patties, a steakette contains no fillers like breadcrumbs or eggs. It’s shaped into a thin, oval patty that cooks quickly and holds its form.

How do you cook steakette in a skillet?

Heat a skillet over medium-high, add oil or butter, and cook the steakette for 3–4 minutes per side. The goal is to get a nice sear on the outside while cooking it through to 160°F inside. This method brings out the beefy flavor and keeps the texture firm.

Is steakette the same as hamburger steak?

Not quite. A steakette recipe uses plain ground beef without any fillers, while a hamburger steak typically includes breadcrumbs, eggs, and is often served with gravy. Steakettes are thinner, faster to cook, and more versatile for meals like sandwiches or quick dinners.

Can I bake steakette instead of frying it?

Yes, you can! Preheat the oven to 375°F and bake the patties on a greased tray for 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway through. Baking is a great alternative when you want a cleaner kitchen or you're cooking other dishes at the same time.
