  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4–6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
    • For the Steaks:
    • 1½ lbs ground beef (80/20 for juicy flavor)
    • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
    • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
    • 1 tsp garlic powder
    • 1 tsp onion powder
    • Salt & pepper, to taste
    • 1 tbsp olive oil (for searing)

 

  • For the Gravy:
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth (preferably low sodium)
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Fresh thyme or parsley (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the Patties: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, panko, egg, Dijon, Worcestershire, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined. Form into 4–6 oval patties.
  2. Sear the Patties: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear patties 3–4 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
  3. Cook the Onions & Mushrooms: In the same skillet, melt butter. Add onions and cook 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook another 5–7 minutes until browned.
  4. Build the Gravy: Add garlic and cook 30 seconds. Stir in flour and cook 1–2 minutes. Slowly whisk in beef broth. Add Worcestershire, Dijon, salt, and pepper.
  5. Simmer the Steaks: Return patties to the skillet, spoon gravy over, cover, and simmer for 15–20 minutes until patties reach 160°F.
  6. Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle with fresh herbs and serve hot with your favorite side.

Notes

  • Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
  • Add a splash of cream or sour cream to the gravy for richness.
  • Try red wine or sherry in the gravy for depth.
  • Double the gravy if you’re a sauce-lover.
  • Make ahead and gently reheat on the stove for great leftovers.
