• 3 if not making gravy, continue cooking the onions until they turn golden brown and caramelize. remove onions and serve atop hamburger "steaks". stop here!
• 4 if making gravy, sprinkle flour over the onions and drippings in the skillet. stir, scraping up brown bits off the bottom as you go. gradually add the beef broth and sherry.
• 5 bring to a boil, then simmer and stir over medium-low heat about 5 minutes, or until gravy thickens. taste and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper as needed.
• 6 reduce heat to low, return patties to the gravy, cover and simmer 15 minutes or until cooked through.
