Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.1 lbs (500 g) ground beef, 85% lean
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup (2 fl oz / 60 ml) milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 small onion, finely diced (about 1/2 cup)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) Dijon mustard (optional but recommended)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
  • 2 tbsp (28 g) butter
  • 8 oz (225 g) cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 small onion, thinly sliced (about 1/4 cup)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 cups (16 fl oz / 480 ml) beef broth
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp (16 g) all-purpose flour
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, milk, egg, finely diced onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overwork.
  3. Divide mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into oval patties, about 3/4-inch thick. Set aside.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Add patties and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned but not cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
  6. Add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add sliced mushrooms and thinly sliced onion.
  7. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are golden and onions are soft.
  8. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  9. Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and onions, stir well to coat.
  10. Slowly pour in beef broth while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to taste.
  11. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until gravy thickens and bubbles.
  12. Return browned patties to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy.
  13. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes until patties are cooked through (internal temp of 160°F).
  14. Remove lid, spoon gravy over patties, and simmer uncovered for 2 minutes for thicker gravy.
  15. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
  16. Serve hot, ladling mushroom gravy over each patty.

Notes

Mix beef gently to avoid tough patties. Sear patties for flavor before simmering in gravy. If gravy is too thick, add a splash of broth; if too thin, simmer uncovered. Substitute ground turkey, gluten-free bread crumbs, or dairy-free milk as needed. Leftovers taste even better the next day and freeze well.
