Description
A comforting, quick weeknight meal featuring tender beef patties in a rich, creamy mushroom gravy. This recipe uses simple pantry staples and takes just 30 minutes to prepare.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp dry mustard
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp butter (divided)
- 1 lb cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine ground beef, diced onion, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, dry mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with hands until just combined.
- Form the mixture into eight oval-shaped patties and place them on a plate.
- Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear four patties for 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Do not cook through. Remove to a clean plate.
- Repeat with the remaining 1 tbsp butter and the remaining four patties.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add sliced mushrooms to the same pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes until they release water and brown. Add a pinch of salt.
- Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir constantly for 1 minute to create a roux.
- Slowly whisk in beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to release flavorful bits. Add heavy cream and stir until smooth. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Return seared patties to the pan, nestling them into the sauce. Cover with a lid and reduce heat to low.
- Simmer for 8-10 minutes until patties are cooked through (internal temperature 160°F).
- Remove lid. If sauce is too thin, simmer uncovered for 2 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Do not overmix the meat to avoid tough patties. Ensure the pan is hot before searing for a good crust. Let patties rest in the sauce for a few minutes after cooking. The gravy thickens as it cools; loosen with water or broth when reheating. For gluten-free, use GF breadcrumbs and cornstarch. For dairy-free, use olive oil and coconut cream.
