Ingredients
For the Patties:
1 lb (450 g) ground beef (80/20 or 85/15 blend)
1 egg, beaten
¼ cup breadcrumbs
2 tbsp milk
1 tbsp ketchup
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
For the Gravy:
2 tbsp butter
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 cup sliced mushrooms
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
1 tbsp soy sauce
½ tsp Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Form the patties: Combine all patty ingredients in a bowl and mix gently. Shape into oval patties about ¾ inch thick.
Brown the patties: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add a little oil, and sear patties for 3–4 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
Cook the onions and mushrooms: In the same pan, melt butter, then sauté onions for 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until softened.
Make the gravy: Sprinkle in flour, stir for 1 minute, then slowly whisk in beef broth, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard. Scrape up any browned bits.
Simmer everything: Return patties to the pan, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10–12 minutes, or until cooked through and the gravy thickens.
Serve: Spoon the gravy over the steaks and serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
Notes
Avoid overmixing the meat to keep patties tender.
For a deeper flavor, add a splash of red wine to the gravy.
This dish freezes well—store cooked patties with gravy in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
