Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup onion finely chopped
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup mushrooms sliced
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp water

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Bowl for mixing
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Plate for resting the patties

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Shape the mixture into four oval patties, about 1 inch thick.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the patties to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
  5. Transfer the patties to a plate and cover loosely with foil; rest for a few minutes.
  6. In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 3 minutes until tender and golden.
  7. Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release browned bits.
  8. Mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then stir into the gravy and simmer until thickened.

Notes

Pro Tip: For extra flavor, let the gravy simmer longer to deepen the taste before adding the patties back.
