Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb 80/20 ground beef
  • 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter or neutral oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, 2 tsp Worcestershire, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix gently and shape into 4 oval patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
  2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear patties for about 4 minutes per side until deeply browned. Remove to a plate.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Cook the sliced onion in the same skillet until soft and golden, 5 to 6 minutes.
  4. Stir in flour and cook 1 minute. Pour in beef broth and the remaining 1 tsp Worcestershire, scraping up browned bits. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes until thickened.
  5. Return patties and any juices to the skillet. Spoon gravy over them, cover, and simmer on low for 6 to 8 minutes until cooked through.
  6. Serve hot with generous spoonfuls of onion gravy on top.

Notes

If the patties brown faster than you expect, reduce the heat slightly so they don’t burn before the centers cook through. For the most tender texture, let the meat mixture rest for 5 minutes after mixing and before shaping; this gives the breadcrumbs time to hydrate.
