Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
- 2 tablespoons Water (optional, for cornstarch slurry)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with clean hands until just combined; do not overmix.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into an oval patty, about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add vegetable oil, then place the patties in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and mostly cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add butter. Once melted, add the sliced onions. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened and lightly caramelized.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the beef broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Add ketchup and Dijon mustard, stirring well to combine. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer.
Return the beef patties to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the patties to cook through.
If the gravy is too thin, mix 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the gravy and cook for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side.
