Ingredients

  • Patties:
    • 1 pound ground sirloin
    • ½ cup panko bread crumbs
    • 1 egg, beaten
    • 2 tablespoons milk
    • ½ (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
    • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
    • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Gravy:
    • 3 tablespoons butter
    • 2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced
    • 1 sweet onion, sliced
    • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    • ½ (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
    • 1 ½ cups beef stock
    • 1 cup water
    • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Make the patties: Mix ground sirloin, panko bread crumbs, egg, milk, 1/2 packet onion soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper together in a large bowl; shape into 5 patties.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook patties in the hot skillet until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
  3. Make the gravy: Melt butter in a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté mushrooms and onion in melted butter until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir flour and remaining 1/2 packet onion soup mix into mushroom mixture until combined.
  4. Gradually add beef stock and water, stirring continually, until simmering. Reduce heat to medium; cook, stirring frequently, until gravy has thickened, about 4 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Place browned patties into gravy; simmer until very tender, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F.
  6. Serve and Enjoy!
