Ingredients
Method
Beef Patties
- Add all the steak ingredients to a large bowl EXCEPT the ground beef.
- Whisk together with a fork until thoroughly combined.
- Add the ground beef and combine with your hands.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions, and pat firmly into oval patties around 3/4”-inch thick.
- Make a shallow depression/dimple in each patty so the outer border is about a ¼ inch higher than the middle.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the patties on each side for about 3 minutes total.
- Remove the patties to a plate and reserve.
Gravy
- Working in batches, add the mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer over medium-high heat.
- Stir to coat the mushrooms in the drippings, adding 1 tbsp of butter, if needed. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until browned. Remove to a plate, repeat with the rest of the mushroom.
- Add the onions and 1-2 tbsp of butter if needed, sautee for 2-3 minutes to soften
- Reduce heat to low, add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add flour and cook for 1 minute, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan.
- Slowly whisk in beef broth and all remaining gravy ingredients. Whisk until most of the lumps are gone.
Assembly
- Add the partially cooked patties back to the skillet, and nestle them into the gravy.
- Bring to a simmer over high heat then reduce to medium. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the internal temperature of the patties reaches 160 degrees F, stirring occasionally around the patties. If the gravy thickens too quickly, add additional broth.
- Once the steaks are done, stir in the mushrooms, and heat through.
- Taste, season, and balance flavor.

Notes
A note on Ground Beef:
I prefer to make my ground beef.
- Cube your portion of dead cow into 3/4 - 1" chunks
- Spread onto a sheet pan and freeze for 30 minutes
- Grind up in either a grinder or a food processor
