Ingredients
1 lb ground beef (80/20)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup beef broth
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix. Shape into 4 oval patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; set aside.
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute.
Gradually whisk in beef broth and water, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in Dijon mustard. Bring to a simmer.
Return patties to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until patties are cooked through, about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve patties with mushroom gravy spooned over the top.
Tips
For extra flavor, add a splash of heavy cream or a teaspoon of tomato paste to the gravy.
Serve with mashed potatoes or egg noodles to soak up the gravy.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
