Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Meat Patties
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, and the beaten egg.
- Mix gently until just combined—don’t overmix to keep the patties tender.
- Shape the mixture into four to six oval-shaped patties, about ½ inch thick.
Step 2: Cook the Patties
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the patties and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned.
- Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3: Make the Gravy
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
- Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to form a roux.
- Slowly whisk in beef broth, making sure to scrape up any browned bits from the pan.
- Add Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir and simmer for 3-5 minutes until the gravy thickens.
Step 4: Simmer the Patties in Gravy
- Return the browned patties to the skillet, spooning some of the gravy over them.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.
