Ingredients

Steaks

• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 2 tsp ketchup
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Mushroom Gravy

• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp flour
• 1 1/2 cups beef stock
• 1 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 6 oz sliced cremini mushrooms
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Serving

• Mashed potatoes
• Roasted broccoli

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, mix together all the steak ingredients (except the oil) until combined
2. Shape the mixture into 4 equal oval patties, about 3/4-inch thick
3. Warm the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add the steaks and cook about 3 minutes per side until they get a nice golden crust (reduce heat if browning too much), then transfer to a plate
4. Reduce heat to medium, add butter to the same skillet with the drippings. Once melted, add flour and whisk until combined with no lumps
5. Reduce heat to medium-low, pour in the beef stock and whisk well. Add ketchup, Worcestershire, and onion powder, whisking to combine
6. Add mushrooms, then simmer about 5 minutes to thicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste
7. Add the partially cooked steaks back to the skillet and nestle into the gravy. Cover and cook another 10 minutes until cooked through (internal temp of 160F)
8. Serve steaks over mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy drizzled on top

Notes

• Recipe by Amy Flanigan at Belly Full
• You can substitute regular mustard for Dijon in a pinch
• Consider adding sauteed onions for extra flavor
• Freezes well in individual portions for meal prep
• Use sharp cheddar or Swiss on top if you want to get fancy
