  • 1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs (or Panko)
  • 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for gravy)
  • 1/2 cup onion, finely diced
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 8 oz white button mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 1/2 cups beef broth

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions and garlic for 5 minutes, then let cool.
  2. Whisk egg, milk, mustard, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir in breadcrumbs and cooled onions/garlic to form a panade.
  3. Mix panade with ground beef until just combined. Form into 4 oval steaks. Chill for 15 minutes.
  4. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet. Brown steaks 1 minute per side. Remove and set aside.
  5. For the gravy, heat olive oil in skillet. Sauté onions 5 minutes, then add butter and mushrooms. Cook until golden, about 5 more minutes.
  6. Add beef broth, bouillon, onion powder, garlic powder, and Worcestershire. Bring to a boil. Stir in cornstarch slurry gradually until gravy thickens. Reduce heat.
  7. Return patties to skillet, spoon gravy on top, cover, and simmer 10-15 minutes until cooked through (160°F internal temp).
  8. Serve hot with mashed potatoes and green beans.

Notes

Set out all ingredients before starting to keep the recipe smooth and easy. Use a large spatula to flip patties without breaking them. Sear 2 patties at a time for easier handling. For gravy, you can substitute a roux (butter + flour) for the cornstarch slurry if you prefer. Onions and mushrooms can be omitted if desired. Recipe also appears in The Cozy Cookbook, page 71.
