Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean ground beef
- 1 cup Unsalted breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 250 grams Fresh mushrooms
- 2 cups Unsalted beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, unsalted breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 2
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5-6 minutes, until they become tender and slightly browned.
Step 5
Pour in the unsalted beef broth, deglazing the pan by scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the mushroom mixture, stirring continuously, until the gravy thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Add the fresh thyme leaves to the gravy and stir well.
Step 8
Return the burger patties to the skillet, spooning the mushroom gravy over them. Allow them to heat through for about 2 minutes.
Step 9
Serve the burger steak with mushroom gravy hot, garnishing with additional thyme if desired.
