Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1/3 cup breadcrumbs
1 large egg
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1/2 medium onion, sliced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (for gravy)
1 teaspoon fresh thyme (optional)
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
2. Shape the mixture into oval patties.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown patties on both sides, then set aside.
4. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté sliced mushrooms and onions until soft.
5. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute to make a roux.
6. Slowly whisk in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Simmer until thickened.
7. Return patties to the skillet. Cover and simmer for 10–15 minutes until patties are fully cooked.
8. Serve hot over mashed potatoes or noodles.
Notes
Don’t overmix the beef mixture — it can make the patties tough.
Use 80/20 ground beef for juicier results.
Add a splash of broth while reheating to loosen the gravy.
