Ingredients

  • Ground beef – provides a rich, flavorful base
  • Breadcrumbs – help bind the patties and retain moisture
  • Egg – acts as a binder to hold the mixture together
  • Worcestershire sauce – adds deep umami flavor
  • Onions and garlic – infuse the beef with aromatic, savory notes
  • Salt and pepper – essential for seasoning
  • Mushrooms – create an earthy, robust base for the gravy
  • Butter – adds richness and helps sauté vegetables
  • Beef broth – forms the flavorful liquid foundation for the gravy
  • Flour – thickens the gravy to the ideal consistency

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, minced onions, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  2. Shape into oval patties and set aside.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the patties on both sides until browned.
  4. Remove patties and set aside to rest.
  5. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté onions until soft. Add garlic and cook briefly.
  6. Stir in mushrooms and cook until browned and their moisture has evaporated.
  7. Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and stir to coat evenly.
  8. Gradually pour in beef broth while stirring, then add Worcestershire sauce.
  9. Simmer until the gravy thickens slightly.
  10. Return patties to the skillet, cover, and simmer for 15–20 minutes until cooked through.
  11. Let everything rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use 80/20 ground beef for the best balance of flavor and moisture.
  • Don’t overwork the meat to keep patties tender.
  • Searing the patties enhances flavor and locks in juices.
  • Simmer gently to avoid breaking the patties and to deepen flavor.
  • Letting the dish rest improves texture and allows flavors to settle.
