Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ pounds ground beef
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce (optional)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, chopped onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly and form into 4-6 oval-shaped patties.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties 4-5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and chopped onions. Cook until mushrooms release moisture and onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle flour over mushroom-onion mixture and stir well. Cook for 2 minutes.
  5. Gradually add beef broth, stirring constantly. Add soy sauce if using. Bring to a simmer and cook until gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Return patties to the skillet, spoon gravy over them, and simmer on low for 10 minutes to meld flavors. Serve hot garnished with parsley.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef for a healthier version.
  • Add a splash of heavy cream for extra richness in the gravy.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, or steamed vegetables.
  • Try different mushrooms to vary flavor profiles.
