Ingredients:
For the Patties:
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1/3 cup breadcrumbs
1 large egg
1/4 cup onion, finely diced
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
For the Onion Gravy:
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp dried thyme (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Make the Patties
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, diced onion, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Mix until just combined (don’t overmix to keep the patties tender).
- Divide the mixture into 4-6 equal portions and shape them into oval patties.
Cook the Patties
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil.
- Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until browned. (They don’t need to be fully cooked yet.) Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Prepare the Onion Gravy
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until golden and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw taste.
- Slowly whisk in the beef broth, making sure there are no lumps. Add the Worcestershire sauce, thyme (if using), and season with salt and pepper.
Simmer the Steak in Gravy
- Return the patties to the skillet and spoon the gravy over them.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the patties are cooked through and the gravy has thickened.
Serve & Enjoy
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles.
