Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need

• Large bowl
• Large skillet
• Spatula
• Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

For the Steaks:

• 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 egg
• 1 small yellow onion, grated
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 lb. lean ground beef (such as 90/10)
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

For the Mushroom Gravy:

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 8 oz. sliced mushrooms (I used baby portobellas/cremini)
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups beef broth
• Kosher salt to taste
• Black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, mix together the grated onion (and its juices), breadcrumbs, egg, kosher salt, and black pepper until well combined.
2. Add the ground beef to the bowl and mix to combine with the breadcrumb and onion mixture. Use your hands for the best results.
3. Divide the beef mixture into four equal parts and form 4 oval-shaped patties about 3/4-inch thick.
4. Heat a large skillet over high heat until searing hot, then add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
5. Add the patties to the hot pan and cook for 2 minutes on each side until nicely browned. Avoid moving them during cooking for the best color.
6. Remove the patties to a plate.
7. Add the butter to the skillet, and once melted, add the sliced mushrooms.
8. Cook the mushrooms for 2 minutes until golden, then sprinkle the flour over them and stir to coat. Continue cooking for 1 more minute.
9. Add the beef broth, stirring constantly to incorporate the flour, and bring to a simmer.
10. Return the steak patties to the gravy mixture and simmer, uncovered, for 5 more minutes, or until fully cooked and the gravy has thickened.

Tips for Success

• Time-Saving Tip: Form the patties ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to two days.
• Money-Saving Tip: Buy ground beef on sale or in bulk to save costs. Homemade breadcrumbs can be made by toasting bread and processing it into crumbs.

Additional Tips and Variations

• Dairy-Free Version: Use more olive oil instead of butter for the gravy.
• Gluten-Free Version: Substitute gluten-free breadcrumbs and use cornstarch instead of flour for the gravy.
