Cook Patties:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Gravy
Sauté Onions and Mushrooms:
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are tender.
Make the Roux:
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the onion and mushroom mixture. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the flour, cooking for an additional 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Add Liquids:
Gradually add the water and the packet of brown gravy mix to the skillet, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Season and Thicken:
Add the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper to taste. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 3: Combine and Serve
Add Patties to Gravy:
Return the cooked patties to the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom gravy.
Simmer:
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Serve:
Serve the steak patties with mushroom gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta, and enjoy!
Cooking Notes
Ground Beef:
For best results, use ground beef with a good fat content (80/20) to ensure juicy and flavorful patties.
Breadcrumbs:
You can use panko breadcrumbs for a lighter texture, or regular breadcrumbs for a denser patty.
Mushrooms:
Use fresh mushrooms for the best flavor, but canned mushrooms can be substituted in a pinch.
