Ingredients
The following ingredients have 6 Servings
- 2 pound ground beef (extra lean)
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 large onion (halved and sliced thinly)
- 8 ounce cremini mushrooms (optional)
- 2 cups beef broth (low sodium)
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoon cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
Instruction
- In a large bowl, combine the beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper, using your clean hands. Divide into 6 equal pieces and form each one into oval patties.
- In a large skillet add the olive oil and butter and heat until melted over medium-high heat. Add the meat patties and fry on both sides until no longer pink in the middle, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the patties to a plate.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the sliced onions and cook until softened, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms, if using, and cook for a few more minutes until the onions are golden brown, another 3 minutes.
- Add the beef broth, tomato paste, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce and stir. In a small bowl whisk the cornstarch with a bit of water or beef broth and add to the skillet. Whisk until the sauce thickens, for about 2 minutes.
- Add the meat back to the pan and spoon gravy over the top. Cook for another minute until the meat patties warm through.
- Garnish with parsley and serve over mashed potatoes.
