Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 cups beef broth
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup onion, finely chopped
Seasoning and Cooking Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine 1 pound ground beef, ½ cup breadcrumbs, ¼ cup finely chopped onion, and 1 egg in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then thoroughly blend the ingredients with your hands.
- Gently form the meat mixture into 4 oval-shaped patties, keeping them compact and even in thickness.
- Heat 2 tablespoons cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (375°F) until the oil shimmers and looks slightly rippled.
- Carefully place the patties into the hot skillet, cooking for 4-5 minutes until a rich golden-brown crust develops on the first side.
- Flip the patties and cook an additional 4-5 minutes, ensuring internal temperature reaches 160°F for safe consumption.
- Transfer the browned patties to a clean plate and keep warm.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons flour into the same skillet, stirring constantly for 60 seconds to create a golden roux.
- Gradually pour 2 cups beef broth and 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce into the skillet, whisking continuously to prevent lumps.
- Simmer the gravy for 3-4 minutes, stirring until it thickens and becomes smooth.
- Nestle the cooked patties back into the gravy, allowing them to warm through for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Selecting lean ground beef helps control the fat content and prevents greasy patties.
- Letting the patties rest for a few minutes after forming ensures they hold together better during cooking.
- Scraping the browned bits from the skillet when making gravy adds deep, rich flavor to the sauce.
- For a gluten-free version, swap breadcrumbs with crushed pork rinds or gluten-free breadcrumbs and use cornstarch instead of flour to thicken the gravy.
