  • 500 g ground beef
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Make the Steaks

  1. In a bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Mix gently (don’t overwork) until just combined.
  3. Shape into oval patties, about 1–1½ cm thick.

2️⃣ Cook the Steaks

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat with a little oil.
  2. Add patties and cook 3–4 minutes per side until nicely browned.
  3. Remove patties from the skillet and set aside.

3️⃣ Prepare the Onion Gravy

  1. In the same skillet, add butter and sliced onions.
  2. Cook over medium heat until onions are soft and golden.
  3. Sprinkle in flour and stir for 1 minute to cook out the raw taste.
  4. Slowly whisk in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce.
  5. Simmer until the gravy thickens.

4️⃣ Simmer Together

  1. Return the patties to the skillet.
  2. Spoon gravy over the top, cover, and simmer 10–15 minutes until patties are cooked through and tender.

🔥 Cooking Method

  • Pan-seared + simmered: This method locks in flavor, builds fond in the pan, and creates a deeply savory gravy without extra steps.
