From reading your post I don't think you have any idea what a
hamburger steak is, sonds like you're making meat loaf or salisbury
steak... there is no recipe for hamburger steak and you cannot make a
hamburger steak from preground mystery meat, you can but it will taste
like crap. I prepare hamburger steaks very often, they contain
nothing but freshly ground beef chuck that I grind myself, fried to
medium rare in EVOO, they never fall apart. I tried grilling but I
much prefer the results from frying. Each begins as a 12 ounce
slightly oval 3/4" thk patty... add your choice of
seasoning/condiments *after* they're cooked:
