Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 lb ground beef
Binding & Flavor Enhancers:
- ½ cup bread crumbs
- ¼ cup onion, finely chopped
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking & Sauce Components:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tablespoon flour
Instructions
- Blend 1 lb ground beef, ½ cup bread crumbs, ¼ cup chopped onion, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl until ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Shape the meat mixture into four equal oval-shaped patties, pressing them gently to compact the mixture without overworking.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat (375°F) until oil shimmers and looks slightly rippled.
- Place patties in the hot skillet, cooking for 4-5 minutes until a golden-brown crust forms on the bottom.
- Flip patties carefully and cook an additional 4-5 minutes, ensuring internal temperature reaches 160°F for safe consumption.
- Transfer browned patties to a clean plate, leaving drippings in the skillet.
- Add 1 cup sliced mushrooms to the same skillet, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until they release their moisture and turn golden.
- Dust 1 tablespoon flour over mushrooms, stirring continuously to prevent burning and create a roux.
- Pour 1 cup beef broth and 1 tablespoon ketchup into the skillet, whisking until sauce thickens and becomes smooth.
- Return patties to the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom gravy and simmering for 8-10 minutes to marry flavors.
- Serve hot, spooning extra gravy over the patties for maximum deliciousness.
Notes
- Lean ground beef works best, keeping the patties tender without being greasy.
- Season your breadcrumbs with garlic powder or dried herbs for extra flavor depth.
- When forming patties, press a small indent in the center to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular breadcrumbs for almond meal or gluten-free breadcrumbs and use cornstarch instead of flour in the gravy.
