Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (85% lean)
- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Mushroom Onion Gravy
- 8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced (cremini or white button)
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp oil
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Patties: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overworking the meat. Shape the mixture into 4 to 6 evenly sized oval patties.
- Brown the Patties: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for about 4 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove patties from skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the Mushrooms and Onions: In the same skillet, add butter. Toss in the sliced onions and mushrooms and sauté for about 8 minutes until onions are caramelized and mushrooms are browned and tender. Add the minced garlic during the last 30 seconds and cook until fragrant.
- Make the Gravy: Sprinkle flour over the mushroom and onion mixture. Stir well to absorb the butter and juices. Slowly pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce while stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Let the gravy simmer gently for 3 to 5 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Finish Cooking the Patties in Gravy: Return the patties to the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom onion gravy. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the patties to absorb the flavors and cook through.
Notes
- Don’t overmix the beef mixture to keep patties tender.
- Use fresh mushrooms for better flavor and texture.
- Caramelize onions slowly to develop natural sweetness.
- Ensure flour is fully incorporated before adding broth to avoid lumps.
- Let the patties rest a few minutes after cooking to seal in juices.
