Method
Preparation
- In a bowl, mix the ground beef, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper until just combined. Avoid overmixing; it keeps patties tender.
- Shape the mixture into four oval patties, about 3/4-inch thick.
Cooking
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the patties and brown 3–4 minutes per side until a crust forms. Remove patties and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add sliced mushrooms to the same pan and sauté 4–5 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon flour over the mushrooms and stir for 1 minute to cook the raw flour taste.
- Gradually add 2 cups beef broth while stirring, scraping up browned bits from the pan. Stir in 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 tablespoon ketchup. Bring to a simmer and let the gravy thicken slightly (2–3 minutes).
- Return the patties to the pan, spoon some gravy over them, cover loosely, and simmer 8–10 minutes more until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
