Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450 g) ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup (60 g) breadcrumbs (Panko recommended)
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) milk (dairy or dairy-free)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted butter
  • 8 ounces (225 g) button mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 ½ cups (360 ml) beef broth
  • ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream (or half-and-half)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons (16 g) all-purpose or gluten-free flour
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Mix the Patty Ingredients (10 minutes): In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Shape the Patties (5 minutes): Divide mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into oval patties about ¾ inch thick. Let rest while prepping gravy ingredients.
  3. Brown the Patties (8-10 minutes): Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties 4-5 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
  4. Cook the Mushrooms (5 minutes): In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Sauté sliced mushrooms until softened and golden, about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Make the Gravy (10 minutes): Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and stir to coat. Slowly add beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce and simmer until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Finish Cooking the Patties (5-7 minutes): Nestle patties into gravy, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until patties reach 160°F internal temperature, about 5-7 minutes.
  7. Serve (2 minutes): Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot with mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, or roasted vegetables.

Notes

Do not overmix the meat to keep patties tender. Use fresh mushrooms for best flavor. If gravy thickens too much, add a splash of broth or water. Use a meat thermometer to ensure patties reach 160°F for safety. Cast iron skillet recommended for best sear.
