Ingredients
For the patties
- 1 lb ground beef (80% lean, tender and juicy)
- 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs for a perfect texture
- 1 large egg binds ingredients beautifully
- 1/3 cup marinara sauce adds a touch of sweetness
- 1 tsp yellow mustard for a hint of tang
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce depth of flavor
- 1 tsp dried oregano herbaceous aroma
- 1/4 tsp black pepper just the right amount of spice
For the gravy
- 1 yellow onion sliced for sautéing
- 9 oz white button mushrooms sliced, earthy flavor
- 2 1/2 cups low-sodium beef broth the heart of the gravy
- 1 tsp onion powder enhances the onion flavor
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder extra garlicky goodness
- 1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce for that umami punch
- 3 tbsp cornstarch for thickening the sauce
- 1/4 cup water for thickening the sauce
For frying
- 4 tbsp vegetable oil divided
Instructions
Preparation
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the finely diced yellow onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, egg, marinara sauce, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt. Incorporate the cooled onion and garlic mixture into the meat and mix gently until combined.
- Shape the mixture into four oval patties.
Cooking
- In the same skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add the patties and brown for 4-5 minutes on each side.
- Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add sliced onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes before adding the sliced mushrooms. Cook until golden and tender.
- Pour in the beef broth and add onion powder, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Allow to simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Whisk together cornstarch and water, then gradually add it to the broth while stirring until the sauce thickens.
- Return the patties to the skillet and let them simmer in the gravy for 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
Notes
Tips: Let the cooked patties rest for a few minutes before serving. Add fresh parsley for garnish or a dollop of sour cream. Pair with mashed potatoes or rice for a heartier meal.
