# Ingredients Needed:

→ Ground Beef Patties

01 - 1.5 lbs ground beef (85/15 meat to fat ratio)
02 - 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
03 - 1 large egg
04 - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
05 - 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
06 - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
07 - 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
08 - Salt and black pepper, to taste

→ Gravy and Vegetables

09 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
10 - 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
11 - 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
12 - 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
13 - 2 cups beef stock
14 - 1 tablespoon tomato paste
15 - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
16 - 1 teaspoon garlic, pressed
17 - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
18 - 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
19 - Salt and black pepper, to taste

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - In a medium bowl, combine ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, chopped onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to integrate all ingredients.
02 - Divide the meat mixture into 6 equal portions and shape each into a patty approximately 3/4 inch thick. Place patties on a parchment-lined surface and set aside.
03 - Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add patties and cook for 5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove patties from skillet and keep warm.
04 - In the same skillet, sauté sliced onions over medium heat until softened and golden, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until tender, approximately 3 minutes.
05 - Sprinkle all-purpose flour evenly over cooked vegetables. Stir to coat and cook for 1 to 2 minutes to eliminate raw flour taste.
06 - Combine beef stock, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, pressed garlic, Dijon mustard, thyme, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Gradually pour into skillet while stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
07 - Once gravy begins to thicken, return beef patties to skillet. Lower heat to medium-low, cover, and allow to simmer for 15 minutes, flipping patties halfway through to ensure even cooking and flavor absorption.
08 - Check internal temperature of the thickest patty to ensure it reaches at least 160°F. Remove from heat and serve hot with accompaniments of choice.

# Helpful Hints:

01 - Use ground beef with at least 15% fat content for optimal juiciness.
02 - Allow patties to simmer gently to enhance tenderness and flavor.
03 - Let meat and gravy cool to room temperature before refrigerating to preserve quality.
