Merriam-Webster's 'steak' entry defines sense 2a as 'ground beef prepared for cooking or for serving in the manner of a steak' and gives 'hamburger steak' as that sense's example; Dictionary.com's 'hamburger' entry corroborates, defining the Hamburg/hamburger steak sense as 'a patty of ground or chopped beef, seasoned and fried or broiled.' Together they establish the hamburger-steak identity as a ground beef patty, matching the stored 'ground beef patties' element. The onion gravy element is NOT in either definition (see conflicts).
