Ingredients

• 2 pound ground beef (extra lean)
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 large onion (halved and sliced thinly)
• 8 ounce cremini mushrooms (optional)
• 2 cups beef broth (low sodium)

• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)

Instructions

1. 1

   Make The Meat Patties: In a large bowl, combine the beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper, using your clean hands. Divide into 6 equal pieces and form each one into oval patties.

2. 2

   Cook The Meat Patties: In a large skillet add the olive oil and butter and heat until melted over medium-high heat. Add the meat patties and fry on both sides until no longer pink in the middle, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the patties to a plate.

3. 3

   Cook The Onions: Reduce the heat to medium and add the sliced onions and cook until softened, about 3 to 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Add And Cook Mushrooms: Add the mushrooms, if using, and cook for a few more minutes until the onions are golden brown, another 3 minutes.

5. 5

   Finish Making The Mushroom Gravy: Add the beef broth, tomato paste, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce and stir. In a small bowl whisk the cornstarch with a bit of water or beef broth and add to the skillet. Whisk until the sauce thickens, for about 2 minutes.

6. 6

   Add The Patties Back To Skillet: Add the meat back to the pan and spoon gravy over the top. Cook for another minute until the meat patties warm through.

7. 7

   Garnish And Serve: Garnish with parsley and serve over mashed potatoes.
