Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef 85% lean
  • ¼ cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, divided
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt, plus more for the gravy
  • ¼ tsp black pepper, plus more for the gravy
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp all‑purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
  • Vegetable oil for the skillet
  • Chopped fresh parsley for serving (optional)

Method
 

  1. Gently combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, 2 teaspoons Worcestershire, onion powder, garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Shape into four ¾‑inch‑thick oval patties.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium‑high. Sear the patties until a deep brown crust forms, about 4 minutes per side, then transfer to a plate.
  3. Lower heat to medium, melt the butter, and cook the onion with a pinch of salt until softened, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until browned, about 4 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook 1 minute. Whisk in the beef broth, remaining 1 teaspoon Worcestershire, and Dijon. Simmer, scraping up fond, until thickened.
  4. Return patties and any juices to the skillet, spoon gravy over, cover, and simmer over low heat until the patties reach 160°F inside, about 10 minutes. Serve over mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice with parsley.

Notes

The patties finish cooking in the gravy, so do not worry if they look a little pink inside after searing. Leftover gravy is excellent spooned over toast or roasted vegetables the next day. This recipe doubles cleanly; just sear in two batches so the pan stays hot.
