Description
A classic comfort food featuring tender beef patties smothered in rich gravy, perfect for family gatherings and weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tbsp flour (for thickening the gravy)
- 2 tbsp butter
- Salt, pepper, and preferred herbs (e.g., thyme or parsley)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine ground beef, half of the chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, and seasonings. Form the mixture into patties.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a bit of oil. Sear the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
- Remove the patties and set them aside. In the same skillet, melt butter and add the remaining onion, cooking until softened.
- Sprinkle flour into the skillet and whisk for about a minute. Gradually add beef broth, stirring to combine, until the gravy thickens.
- Return the patties to the skillet, coating them with the gravy and allowing them to simmer for a few minutes.
Notes
For juicy patties, don’t overwork the meat. Use a meat thermometer for proper doneness; 160°F is ideal for ground beef.
