Ingredients

Scale

Patties

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Mushroom Gravy

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 8 oz sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Patties: In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to combine without overworking. Shape the mixture into oval patties roughly the size of your palm, then set aside.
  2. Sear the Patties: Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook until browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the patties from the pan and set them aside while you prepare the mushroom gravy.
  3. Cook the Mushrooms and Onions: In the same skillet, add more butter if needed and sauté sliced mushrooms with chopped onions until they are tender and golden brown, forming the flavorful base of your gravy.
  4. Make the Mushroom Gravy: Sprinkle flour over the cooked mushrooms and stir well to coat, cooking for about a minute to remove the raw flour taste. Slowly whisk in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping all the browned bits from the pan to incorporate more flavor. Let the gravy simmer until thickened.
  5. Combine and Simmer: Return the seared patties to the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom gravy. Cover and let everything simmer gently for 10-15 minutes to ensure the patties are cooked through and the flavors meld beautifully.

Notes

  • Use fresh mushrooms for the best texture and flavor; avoid canned pre-sliced varieties.
  • Do not overmix the meat to prevent tough patties; mix just until combined.
  • Brown patties well to lock in juices and add caramelized flavor.
  • Simmer patties slowly in gravy to keep them tender and develop flavors.
  • Adjust gravy thickness by adding more broth for thinner gravy or more flour/simmer longer for thicker consistency.
