Ingredients

For the Beef Patties:

• 2 pounds ground beef (85/15)
• 1 medium yellow onion, grated
• 2/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 2 beef bouillon cubes, crushed
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, for cooking

For the Mushroom Gravy:

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium onion, finely diced
• 16 ounces mushrooms, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Grate the onion over the breadcrumbs in a large bowl. Let sit 5 minutes to absorb moisture.
2. Add remaining patty ingredients (except olive oil) and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
3. Shape mixture into 6 oval patties, about 1-inch thick. Press a slight dimple in the center of each.
4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear patties 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Remove to a plate.
5. In the same skillet, melt butter. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
6. Add mushrooms and garlic. Cook until mushrooms release moisture and start to brown, 5-7 minutes.
7. Sprinkle flour over vegetables, stir, and cook 1 minute.
8. Gradually whisk in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Bring to a simmer.
9. Return patties to skillet along with any juices. Cover and cook 10-12 minutes until patties are cooked through and gravy thickens.
10. Season gravy with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with parsley if desired.
