Ingredients

  • 1 lb 450g ground beef
  • 1/4 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for frying

For the Gravy

  • 1 large onion thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups 480ml beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, milk, chopped onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix gently to avoid tough patties.
  • Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form into oval patties about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
  • Prepare the Gravy: In the same skillet, add butter and sliced onions. Cook until soft and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Sprinkle flour over the onions and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  • Gradually whisk in beef broth, then add Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard. Simmer until thickened.
  • Return patties to the gravy. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes until cooked through.
  • Taste the gravy and adjust with salt and pepper.
  • Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables.
