Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds ground beef 80/20 lean-to-fat ratio
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 small onion finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 16 ounces mushrooms sliced
  • 1 onion thinly sliced
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, diced onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined - avoid overworking the meat.
  • Shape the mixture into 6-8 oval patties, about 1-inch thick. Create a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent bulging during cooking.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, melt butter. Add mushrooms and onions, cooking until softened and golden (about 8-10 minutes).
  • Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir constantly for 1 minute.
  • Gradually add beef broth while stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce and bring to a simmer.
  • Return the steaks to the skillet, reduce heat to low, and let them simmer in the gravy for 10-12 minutes until fully cooked.
