Ingredients
4 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 onion, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound ground beef (80% lean)
⅓ cup panko breadcrumbs
1 large egg
⅓ cup tomato sauce or marinara
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Salt, to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for gravy)
1 onion, sliced
9 oz white button mushrooms, sliced
2 ½ cups low-sodium beef broth
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons cornstarch
¼ cup water or beef stock
Salt and pepper, as needed
Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another 40–60 seconds. Let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, mix the cooled onion and garlic with ground beef, panko, egg, tomato sauce, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, black pepper, and salt. Mix gently until just combined.
- Form the mixture into 4–5 oval-shaped steaks.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in the same skillet. Brown the steaks for about 1 minute per side in batches. Transfer to a plate.
- For the gravy, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in the skillet. Add sliced onion and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and sauté until golden.
- Return the browned steaks to the skillet. Pour in beef broth and add onion powder, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Bring to a boil, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.
- Mix cornstarch with water or beef stock and stir into the skillet. Simmer until the gravy thickens.
- Serve hot with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes or rice.
Notes
- Use ground turkey or chicken for a leaner version.
- Add fresh herbs like thyme or parsley for a burst of flavor.
- Make it gluten-free with gluten-free breadcrumbs.
- Freeze leftovers for up to 3 months.
- Don’t overmix the meat mixture to keep the patties tender.
