A classic American comfort food featuring juicy beef patties smothered in a savory homemade brown gravy. Quick and easy to prepare, perfect for family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450 g) ground beef (80/20)
  • ½ cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup (50 g) breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) milk
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons (30 g) butter
  • ¼ cup (30 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups (480 ml) beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • Optional: fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with hands until just combined, about 3-5 minutes. Do not overwork the meat.
  2. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into an oval patty about ¾-inch (2 cm) thick. Place on a plate and let rest for 10 minutes.
  3. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add patties and cook 4-5 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked. Remove patties and set aside on a warm plate.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the remaining fat and butter in the skillet. Stir constantly with a whisk to form a roux, cooking about 2 minutes until golden brown and nutty-smelling.
  5. Slowly whisk in beef broth and soy sauce. Continue whisking to avoid lumps and bring to a simmer. Cook 3-5 minutes until gravy thickens.
  6. Return patties to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Spoon gravy over patties, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 10-12 minutes until patties reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
  7. Taste gravy and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Do not overwork the meat to keep patties juicy. Let patties rest before cooking to help them hold together. Use medium heat to brown patties without burning. For gluten-free, substitute flour with cornstarch or gluten-free flour blend. If gravy thickens too much, add a splash of broth or water. Use a meat thermometer to ensure patties reach 160°F (71°C).
