Instructions

Prepare the steak mixture

In a bowl, mix ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until just combined.

Pro tip: Avoid overmixing to keep the steaks tender.

Form the patties

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into oval patties. Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.

Pro tip: Chilling helps the patties hold their shape during cooking.

Sear the patties

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.

Pro tip: Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking.

Cook the onions

In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions and cook until soft and caramelized, about 10 minutes.

Pro tip: Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

Make the gravy

Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened.

Pro tip: Use a whisk to prevent lumps.

Finish the steaks

Return the patties to the skillet, spoon gravy over them, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes until cooked through.

Pro tip: Ensure internal temperature reaches 71°C (160°F).

Serving Suggestions

Serve the minced meat steaks hot, smothered in onion gravy, with mashed potatoes or buttered egg noodles on the side. A simple green salad or steamed vegetables can balance the richness of the dish. You can prepare the patties ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to two days or freeze for longer storage. The gravy can also be made in advance and reheated when needed.
