Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Patties
  • 1 lb ground beef preferably 80/20 for maximum juiciness
  • 1 large egg a binder for classic flavor and texture
  • 1.5 tbsp Worcestershire sauce adds depth
  • 1.5 tsp Dijon mustard for a slight tang
  • 3 cloves garlic freshly minced
  • 0.5 cup breadcrumbs panko works great for crunch!
  • 3/4 tsp onion powder for savory touch
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
For Cooking
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for cooking
For the Gravy
  • 1 large onion sliced, adds sweetness
  • 8 oz mushrooms sliced, use cremini or button for best flavor
  • 3 tbsp butter for richness
  • 3.5 tbsp flour for thickening the gravy
  • 2 cups beef broth homemade or low-sodium preferred
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce again, for flavor
  • 3/4 tsp garlic powder for extra flavor
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper for seasoning

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, egg, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick, making a small indent in the center of each patty.
Cooking the Patties
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Making the Gravy
  1. Remove the patties and set aside. In the same skillet, add sliced onion and mushrooms. Sauté for about 7-9 minutes until caramelized and tender.
  2. Add butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt. Sprinkle in flour and stir constantly for about 1 minute to form a roux.
  3. Gradually pour in beef broth, stirring constantly. Add Worcester sauce and garlic powder, simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Final Assembly
  1. Return patties and sautéed vegetables to the skillet. Let everything simmer together for about 5-7 minutes until patties are fully cooked and flavors meld.
Serving
  1. Plate the patties smothered in gravy and enjoy!

Notes

Let patties rest after cooking to maximize juiciness. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying out.
