Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to avoid tough patties.
  2. Divide the mixture into four portions and form into thin, evenly sized patties.
Cooking
  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Add patties and sear 3–4 minutes per side until a brown crust forms. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Add sliced onions to the skillet and cook, stirring, for about 6–8 minutes until starting to brown.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over onions and stir to coat; cook for 1 minute.
  5. Slowly pour in beef broth while stirring and scrape up browned bits from the pan. Stir in Worcestershire sauce.
  6. Bring the gravy to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 3–5 minutes.
  7. Nestle the patties into the gravy and simmer gently for another 4–6 minutes until cooked through.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper before serving.
