Method
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, half of the chopped onion, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
- Shape the mixture into 4 oval patties, about ¾ inch thick. Place them on a plate and set aside.
Cooking
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Return the patties to the skillet, coating them with the gravy. Allow to simmer for about 10-15 minutes, letting the sauce thicken.
- 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.
