Description
A comforting, nostalgic meal featuring tender, seasoned beef patties smothered in a deeply savory mushroom and onion gravy.
Ingredients
1 lb ground beef (80/20)
1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
1 large egg
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (for patties)
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1.5 cups beef broth
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (for gravy)
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, breadcrumbs, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder to form a paste.
Step 2: Add the ground beef to the bowl and gently mix with your hands until just combined; do not overwork the meat.
Step 3: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into oval-shaped patties about 3/4-inch thick.
Step 4: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the patties for 3-4 minutes per side until a deep brown crust forms. Remove patties and set aside.
Step 5: In the same skillet, add the butter and mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are browned and tender. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Step 6: Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and whisk for 1-2 minutes to cook the flour. Slowly pour in the beef broth and the remaining Worcestershire sauce, whisking constantly.
Step 7: Bring the gravy to a simmer. Once it begins to thicken, return the patties to the pan. Cover and simmer on low for 10-15 minutes until the beef is cooked through.
Step 8: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately over mashed potatoes or noodles.
Notes
Ensure you don't crowd the pan during searing to get the best crust. Use baby bella mushrooms for a richer color in your gravy.
