Equipment
- Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef preferably 80/20 ground chuck
- 1 large egg beaten
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 slices white bread torn into small chunks
- ¼ cup beef broth or water, if preferred
- 1 small onion peeled and finely grated
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 can 14 ounces sliced button mushrooms, drained
For the Gravy:
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Patty Mixture
- In a bowl, combine the ground beef, beaten egg, salt, black pepper, torn bread chunks, beef broth, and grated onion. Mix it until just combined—don’t overdo it. You want a tender patty, not a dense one!
Step 2: Form the Patties
- Shape the mixture into burger-sized patties. You can opt for smaller sizes for a more delicate bite or larger ones for a fulfilling experience. Aim for about 4-6 patties depending on your preference.
Step 3: Cook the Patties
- Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the patties in the skillet. Cook each side for about 5-7 minutes or until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and keep them warm while you prepare the gravy.
Step 4: Make the Gravy
- Using the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux. Cook for about a minute until it’s lightly golden. Gradually add beef broth while whisking to eliminate lumps. Bring it to a simmer until it thickens. Add sea salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce to finish the gravy.
Step 5: Serve
- Place the cooked patties on a plate and generously spoon the gravy over them. This is where the magic happens! Serve immediately with a side of steamed rice or mashed potatoes.
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ground beef offers the best flavor. Consider buying from a butcher for higher quality.
- Don’t Skimp on Gravy: The gravy is the star here. Make extra and freeze it for future meals.
- Check the Seasoning: Always taste your mixture before forming patties. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Let the Patties Rest: Allow the cooked patties to rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps retain juiciness.
- Experiment with Mushrooms: Try different mushroom varieties for the gravy. Cremini or portobello can add depth.
