Grab a bowl and toss in the breadcrumbs. Grate the onion on top and combine it all with your hands. Let it sit for a bit to absorb everything.
02 -
Add everything else for the steaks into the same bowl. Using your hands, combine the mixture gently but thoroughly. Work it until it becomes kind of sticky—this’ll keep your patties from breaking apart.
03 -
Split the mix into 5 even parts. Mold each into oval shapes, pressing firmly, around 3/4 inch thick.
04 -
Heat up oil in your skillet over high heat. Place the patties in and cook the first side for about a minute, or until the color turns golden, then flip gently to do the other side. Take them out—they’ll still need cooking, so don’t worry.
05 -
If the skillet looks dry, drizzle in a little more oil. Toss in the chopped onion and garlic, stirring gently for a couple of minutes until they soften and turn a bit see-through.
06 -
Throw the mushroom slices in the pan. Let them cook for about 2 to 3 minutes until they look golden and tasty.
07 -
Lower the heat to medium. Melt the butter in the pan, then stir in the flour and mix constantly for about 30 seconds.
08 -
Slowly pour in the beef broth, stirring all the time to avoid lumps. After it’s mostly smooth, whisk in the rest of the gravy ingredients.
09 -
Add the patties into the gravy along with any juices on the plate. Let them cook 5–7 minutes, stirring to keep the gravy from thickening too much. Add water if needed.

Transfer the patties onto a plate. Season the gravy with more salt or pepper if needed. Pour the gravy with mushrooms over the patties, and serve—best over mashed potatoes for the ultimate meal.
