Ingredients
Scale
For the Steak Patties
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 teaspoons ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
For Cooking
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (for the skillet)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 1/2 cups beef stock
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 6 ounces sliced cremini mushrooms
- Salt and pepper, to taste
To Serve
- Mashed potatoes
- Roasted broccoli
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak Mixture: In a large bowl, thoroughly mix together the ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, beaten egg, ketchup, Dijon mustard, dried oregano, and kosher salt until evenly combined.
- Shape the Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into an oval patty about 3/4-inch thick.
- Cook the Patties: Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for about 3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden crust. Reduce heat as needed to prevent burning. Transfer the cooked patties to a plate.
- Make the Gravy Base: Lower the heat to medium and, in the same skillet with the drippings, add the unsalted butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour until smooth and no lumps remain.
- Finish the Gravy: Reduce heat to medium-low and gradually whisk in the beef stock. Stir in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and onion powder until fully combined. Add the sliced cremini mushrooms and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes to thicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef to reduce excess fat and achieve better texture.
- Do not overmix the patty ingredients to keep the meat tender.
- Adjust seasoning in gravy according to taste.
- Serve with creamy mashed potatoes and roasted broccoli for a complete meal.
- Allow patties to rest briefly after cooking for juicier results.
