Ingredients
  

For the Patties
  • 1 lb Ground Beef Main ingredient; can substitute with ground turkey.
  • 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs Panko can be used for extra crunch.
  • 1 pc Egg Use a flaxseed egg for a vegan option.
  • 1 medium Onion, finely chopped Alternatively, use shallots.
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced Essential for flavor.
  • Salt and Pepper to taste Salt and Pepper Essential seasonings.
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil For cooking; avocado oil is a good alternative.
For the Gravy
  • 1 cup Beef Broth Substitute with vegetable broth if desired.
  • 8 oz Mushrooms, sliced Use a mix of your favorite mushrooms.
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce Soy sauce can be used as an alternative.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, half of the chopped onion, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Shape the mixture into 4 oval patties, about ¾ inch thick. Place them on a plate and set aside.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the remaining onions and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and stir until fragrant, around 1 minute.
  2. Push the onions and garlic to the side of the skillet, add another tablespoon of oil, and carefully lay the patties in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the patties and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until browned, around 5-6 minutes. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and scrape up any fond from the bottom of the skillet. Pour in the beef broth, bringing it to a gentle simmer.
  4. Return the patties to the skillet, coating them with the gravy. Allow to simmer for about 10-15 minutes, letting the sauce thicken.
  5. Plate the patties and generously ladle the mushrooms and gravy over them.

Notes

Tips for variations include adding fresh herbs, using cheese, or swapping in lentils for a vegetarian option. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days; freeze for up to three months.
