Ingredients
Scale
For the Beef Patties
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for juiciness)
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Mushroom Gravy
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 oz cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or parsley)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef Patties: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix just until blended to keep patties tender. Shape the mixture into evenly sized oval patties, about 1-inch thick, and set aside.
- Brown the Patties: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil and butter. Add the patties and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove patties from skillet and set aside; they will finish cooking in the gravy.
- Sauté the Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add more butter if needed. Toss in sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and become golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Add fresh thyme and continue cooking briefly to infuse flavor.
- Make the Mushroom Gravy: Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir to coat, cooking for about 1 minute to remove raw flour taste. Slowly whisk in beef broth, scraping up browned bits from the pan. Bring to a simmer and let the gravy thicken and reduce for 3-5 minutes.
- Simmer Patties in Gravy: Return the browned patties to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Cover the pan and reduce heat to low. Let everything simmer gently for 10-15 minutes until the patties are cooked through and tender.
- Final Touches and Serving: Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving to add a pop of color and fresh flavor.
Notes
- Use fresh mushrooms to maximize flavor and texture.
- Do not overmix the meat mixture to keep patties tender and juicy.
- Brown the patties well for a flavorful crust.
- Let the gravy simmer slowly to enhance richness.
- Allow the dish to rest a few minutes before serving for the best flavor melding.
