Ingredients
1½ pounds (680 g) ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
½ cup breadcrumbs
1 large egg
¼ cup grated onion
1 tablespoon ketchup
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 cups cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
In a bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, grated onion, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and pepper until just combined. Shape into oval patties.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear patties on both sides until browned but not cooked through. Set aside.
In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté onions until translucent. Add mushrooms and cook until golden.
Sprinkle flour into the pan and stir for about a minute. Gradually whisk in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Stir until smooth and thickened.
Return patties to the skillet, spooning gravy over the top. Cover and simmer on low heat for 10–12 minutes, until patties are cooked through and gravy is rich and glossy.
Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles.
Notes
Don’t overmix the meat mixture to keep the patties tender.
For a deeper flavor, deglaze the pan with a splash of red wine before adding the broth.
This dish reheats beautifully and tastes even better the next day.
