Equipment
- cutting board
- kitchen knife
- large bowl
- large cast-iron skillet
- spatula
- ladle
Ingredients
For the patties
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- ¼ cup bread crumbs - unflavored
- 2 tbsp tomato paste - such as San Marzano
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp black pepper - freshly ground
- ½ tsp kosher salt
For the gravy
- 1 large yellow onion - diced
- 4 ounce mushrooms - sliced
- 1 tsp fresh thyme - finely chopped
- 1 tsp garlic - minced
- 4 tbsp flour
- 2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
- 3 cups beef stock
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp kosher salt - more to taste
- ½ tsp black pepper - freshly ground, more to taste
- ½ cup green onions - chopped
- ½ cup fresh parsley - chopped
- 1 cup dry red wine
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the ground beef, bread crumbs, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
- Thoroughly work this together with clean hands. Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal size portions and form into patties about ½ inch thick. Set aside on a sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Heat 1 tsp olive oil over medium heat in a large cast-iron skillet. Add the patties to the pan, and cook until browned, approximately 3 minutes. Turn the patties over and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until browned.
- Transfer to a platter and keep warm.
- Heat up the beef stock in the microwave for a few minutes in a measuring cup, then set aside.
- Add the onions and balsamic vinegar to the hot pan and cook until translucent.
- Add the mushrooms and cook until softened.
- Add the flour, garlic, and thyme. Cook for 1 minute.
- Stir in the red wine and deglaze, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen any brown bits (the fond). When the wine is almost fully reduced, slowly incorporate the hot beef stock, stir in 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, and bring the mixture to a boil.
- When the gravy begins to thicken, turn the heat down to low and stir in 1 tbsp butter. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
- Return the beef patties, and cook for 10 minutes more.
- Stir in the green onions and parsley.
- Serve over rice, noodles, or mash potatoes.
Notes
Fresh mushrooms are better, but you can use jarred mushrooms in a pinch, it still tastes mighty good!
