Ingredients
  

For the patties
  • 1 pound ground beef (lean or regular) Lean reduces splatter and fat
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs Helps bind and keeps patties tender
  • 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped Folded into the meat for moisture and flavor
  • 1 large egg Binder
  • to taste Salt and pepper
For the gravy
  • 2 tablespoons oil (neutral, like canola or vegetable) For cooking the patties
  • 1 cup beef broth Low-sodium is fine
  • 1 cup onions, sliced For the gravy
  • 2 tablespoons flour For thickening
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce For depth and a savory tang

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine ground beef, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, the egg, and salt and pepper. Mix gently to avoid tough patties.
  2. Shape the mixture into four flat patties, about 3/4-inch thick, pressing a slight indent in the center of each.
Cooking
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Add patties and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until browned and cooked through (internal temperature 160°F / 71°C). Remove patties to a plate and tent with foil to rest.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Add 1 cup sliced onions to the same skillet; sauté for 5–7 minutes until soft and starting to caramelize.
  4. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons flour over the onions and stir for 1 minute.
  5. Slowly whisk in 1 cup beef broth until smooth. Add 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce and bring to a simmer; let it thicken for 1–2 minutes.
  6. Return the patties to the skillet, spoon gravy over them, and simmer for 2–3 minutes to reheat.
