1 pound ground beef 85/15 works best (453.6 grams)
1/2 small yellow onion grated fine
1/2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs see note 1 and 2 (56 grams)
1 large egg whisked
2 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Gravy

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 small yellow onion diced
2 cloves garlic minced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
dash ground black pepper
4 ounces white button mushrooms sliced, see note 3 (113.4 grams)
2 tablespoons all purpose flour see note 2
3 cups beef broth (680.3 grams)
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the beef, grated onion, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, ground mustard, and black pepper.
1 pound ground beef, 1/2 small yellow onion, 1/2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, 1 large egg, 2 cloves garlic, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard, 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Divide the meat mixture into four equal patties that oval shaped and approximately 1/2 an inch thick. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the steaks and brown each side, about 2 minutes per side. No need to cook them all the way through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
1 tablespoon olive oil
Melt the butter in the skillet. Add in the onion and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for about 3 minutes. Add in the mushrooms and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, 1/2 small yellow onion, 2 cloves garlic, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, dash ground black pepper, 4 ounces white button mushrooms
Add the flour to the pan and toss the mushrooms in it. Slowly add in the beef broth, scraping up the browned bits as you slowly whisk it in to the skillet. Stir in the ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. Turn up the heat. Bring to a simmer, bring the heat back down, and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2 tablespoons all purpose flour, 3 cups beef broth, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Add the browned steaks (plus any liquid that has accumulated on the plate), and cook for 5 more minutes, or until the steaks are cooked through and the gravy has thickened.

Notes

While many recipes call for plain bread crumbs, the added flavor of Italian seasoned bread crumbs is amazing in this recipe. If you don't have Italian seasoned breadcrumbs on hand, you can use 1/2 cup regular breadcrumbs and add 1/2 teaspoon of our Italian Seasoning.
To make this recipe low carb and gluten free, replace the breadcrumbs with ground pork rinds and the flour in the roux with almond flour.
If you are not a fan of mushrooms, they can simply be omitted from the recipe without making any other changes. You will just cook the onions for 5 to 7 minutes without adding the mushrooms.
