📜 A Little History

Hamburger steak became popular in the American South during the early 1900s as an affordable, hearty meal. Ground beef was easy to stretch, season, and cook, making it perfect for feeding families. Over time, Southern cooks added onions, gravy, and bold seasonings, transforming a simple beef patty into a soul-satisfying classic that’s still loved today.
