Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef (lean or medium-ground)
  • 1 cup sliced white or cremini mushrooms
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (use gluten-free breadcrumbs for gluten-free version)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp flour or cornstarch (use cornstarch for gluten-free gravy)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp butter or oil for sautéing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Patties: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently until just combined, then shape into evenly sized oval patties ready for cooking.
  2. Brown the Patties: Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove patties and set aside.
  3. Sauté Mushrooms and Onions: In the same skillet, add more butter and sauté sliced mushrooms and onions over medium heat until onions are translucent and mushrooms are browned, about 6-8 minutes.
  4. Make the Gravy: Sprinkle flour over the mushroom and onion mixture, stirring well to cook out the raw flour taste. Gradually pour in beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps, and cook until the gravy thickens.
  5. Simmer Patties in Gravy: Return the patties to the skillet, nestle them into the gravy. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer gently for 10-15 minutes until patties are cooked through and flavors meld.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Transfer patties to plates and spoon extra mushroom onion gravy over the top. Serve immediately with preferred sides.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the meat to keep patties tender.
  • Brown patties well for better flavor and structure.
  • Use fresh mushrooms for best texture and taste.
  • Simmer on low heat to avoid toughening the meat.
  • Let patties rest briefly after cooking for juicier results.
