Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (or almond flour for gluten-free option)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Gravy and Vegetables

  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 8 oz cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon oil (vegetable or olive oil)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • Fresh parsley or thyme, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Patties: Combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix gently just until combined to avoid dense patties. Shape the mixture into oval-shaped steaks about 3/4 inch thick, ensuring even sizes for uniform cooking.
  2. Brown the Patties: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with butter and oil. Sear the patties on both sides until deeply browned but not fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes per side. This step locks in flavor and creates a beautiful crust.
  3. Sauté Onions and Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add sliced onions and mushrooms with a bit more butter or oil. Cook until softened and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to develop a sweet and rich base for the gravy.
  4. Make the Gravy: Sprinkle flour over the onion and mushroom mixture and stir to cook out the raw taste, about 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the beef broth, scraping up browned bits from the pan, then bring to a simmer. Let it thicken to a smooth, velvety gravy.
  5. Simmer the Patties in Gravy: Return the browned patties to the skillet, spooning gravy around them. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes until patties are cooked through and flavors meld perfectly.
  6. Finish with Fresh Herbs: Stir in chopped parsley or thyme a few minutes before serving to add freshness and color to the rich dish.

Notes

  • Don’t overwork the meat to keep patties tender and juicy.
  • Use a cast iron skillet for even heat and a better crust on the patties.
  • Caramelize onions slowly to enhance the gravy’s natural sweetness.
  • Deglaze the pan with broth to infuse extra umami flavor in the gravy.
  • Let patties rest a few minutes after cooking to retain juices.
