Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground beef
Binding and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup (25 grams) parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 1/4 cup (40 grams) onion, finely chopped
Seasonings and Spices:
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Gravy Base:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup (85 grams) mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups (473 milliliters) beef broth
Garnish:
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Craft a robust meat mixture by thoroughly blending ground beef with breadcrumbs, Parmesan, diced onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to maintain a tender texture without compressing the meat.
- Portion the mixture into four equal oval-shaped patties, approximately 3/4-inch thick. Create a subtle central depression in each patty to prevent bulging during cooking.
- Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (375°F). Sear patties for 5-6 minutes per side until achieving a rich golden-brown exterior and near-complete internal doneness. Transfer cooked patties to a holding plate.
- Utilize the same skillet’s flavorful drippings to sauté mushroom slices. Cook 3-4 minutes until moisture evaporates and caramelization begins. Dust flour over mushrooms, stirring continuously for one minute to eliminate raw flour taste.
- Gradually stream beef broth into the skillet, whisking vigorously to create a smooth, lump-free gravy. Simmer 2-3 minutes until sauce begins to thicken and develop a rich consistency.
- Reintroduce patties into the mushroom gravy, nestling them gently. Reduce heat to low, cover, and allow to simmer 10-15 minutes. Ensure patties reach complete internal cooking and gravy reaches desired thickness. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- Handle meat gently to keep patties tender and prevent tough texture when mixing ingredients.
- Create small indentation in patty center to ensure even cooking and prevent bulging.
- Choose high-quality ground beef with 80/20 lean-to-fat ratio for maximum flavor and juiciness.
- Allow patties to rest briefly after cooking to retain internal moisture and enhance taste.
- Try mushroom varieties like cremini or shiitake for deeper, more complex gravy flavor.
- Consider gluten-free alternative by substituting breadcrumbs with almond flour or gluten-free breadcrumbs.
- Reduce sodium by using low-sodium beef broth and controlling salt during seasoning process.
- Enhance protein content by adding finely chopped spinach or grated zucchini to meat mixture.
