Equipment

  • Medium bowl
  • Large skillet
  • Spatula
  • Whisk

Ingredients
  

Patties

  • 1 lb (450g) Ground Beef, 80/20 lean
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Black Pepper to taste

Gravy

  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 2 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 ½ cups Beef Broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 4 oz (115g) Sliced Mushrooms fresh or canned, drained

Instructions
 

Prep the Patties

  • Combine ground beef with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl, then gently mix without overmixing.
  • Form the mixture into 4-6 oval patties, about ½-inch thick.

Sear the Steaks

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then sear patties for 3-4 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.
  • Remove patties and set aside, leaving the skillet uncleaned.

Make the Gravy

  • Reduce heat to medium, add butter to the skillet, and scrape up browned bits; then add sliced mushrooms and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Thicken the Gravy

  • Sprinkle flour over the melted butter and whisk continuously for 1 minute to create a roux.

Build the Gravy

  • Gradually pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, whisking constantly to prevent lumps, then simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
  • Add a splash more broth if the gravy becomes too thick.

Combine & Serve

  • Return the cooked patties to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy, and warm through for about 1 minute before serving immediately.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of dried thyme or a bay leaf to the gravy while it simmers. Serve with mashed potatoes or egg noodles for a complete meal.
