Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Patties
  • 1 lb ground beef (preferably 85% lean)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ cup breadcrumbs (optional, for added texture)
For the Gravy
  • 2 tbsp cooking oil (for frying)
  • 2 cups beef broth (for the gravy)
  • 2 tbsp flour (to thicken the gravy)
  • 1 tsp thyme or other preferred herbs for flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and breadcrumbs (if using). Mix just until combined—don’t overwork the meat!
  2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into oval or round patties, about ½ inch thick.
Cooking
  1. In a skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through.
  3. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, lower the heat and sprinkle in the flour. Stir for about one minute until golden.
  4. Gradually whisk in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any drippings.
  5. Bring the gravy to a simmer, allowing it to thicken for about 5-7 minutes. If desired, add thyme or other herbs to enhance flavor.
  6. Return the patties to the skillet and coat them with the gravy. Cook for an additional 2 minutes before serving.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or in a skillet with a little gravy to keep them moist.
