Instructions
Step 1: Make the Patties
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
2. Divide the mixture into 4–6 portions and shape them into oval-shaped patties.
Step 2: Sear the Patties
1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil.
2. Cook the patties for 3–4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3: Make the Gravy
1. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
2. Add sliced onions and mushrooms, if using, and sauté until softened.
3. Sprinkle in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly.
4. Gradually whisk in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard.
5. Bring the gravy to a simmer and season with salt and pepper.
Step 4: Combine and Cook
1. Return the seared patties to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy.
2. Cover and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until the patties are fully cooked and the gravy has thickened.
