Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion
- 2 cloves garlic
Binding/Mixing Ingredients:
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper
Cooking/Gravy Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Combine ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, ½ cup breadcrumbs, 1 large egg, 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Gently mix ingredients until just incorporated.
- Form the meat mixture into 4 oval-shaped patties, each about ½ inch thick. Create a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent bulging during cooking.
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat at 375°F. Carefully place the patties into the hot skillet.
- Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on the first side until a golden-brown crust forms. Flip the patties and cook an additional 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside. Keep them warm while preparing the gravy.
- Sprinkle 1 tbsp flour into the same skillet, stirring quickly to prevent burning. Pour 1 cup beef broth into the skillet, whisking constantly to create a smooth sauce.
- Add 1 tbsp butter to the gravy, stirring until it melts and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Return the cooked patties to the skillet, coating them completely with the hot gravy. Serve immediately while hot and fresh.
Notes
- Let the ground beef rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before forming patties to ensure even cooking and better texture.
- Season the meat generously with salt and pepper, mixing gently to keep the patties tender without overworking the meat.
- Create a small indent in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during cooking and help them cook more evenly.
- For a gluten-free version, replace wheat flour with cornstarch or a gluten-free flour blend when making the gravy.
