Preparation

Step 1

Mix the beef, onion, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper and form into 4 patties before frying in a pan until lightly golden brown on both sides and cooked though, about 3-7 minutes per side.

Melt the butter in a pan over medium-high heat, add the mushrooms and onion and cook until the mushroom have released their moisture, it has cooked off and the mushrooms start to turn a light golden brown, about 13-15 minutes.

Add the garlic, thyme and flour and and cook for 2 minutes, stirring.

Add the broth and deglaze the pan by scraping up the brown bits of flavour from the bottom of the pan with a spoon while the broth sizzles.

Add the Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the gravy thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

Options:
Add 1 tablespoon fish sauce or soy sauce to the patties and/or gravy.

Add 1/4 cup parmesan to the patties and/or gravy!

Add tomato paste/sauce to the patties and/or gravy.

Replace some or all of the broth with dry red wine.

Replace the Worcestershire sauce with tonkatsu sauce.

Add cayenne!

Add nutmeg!

Add curry powder (or a Japanese style curry cube) for something different!
