Ingredients

  • Beef Patties
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs Bobby Flay’s original recipe uses 2 tablespoons, but I find more breadcrumbs result juicer steaks
  • 1 teaspoon garlic crushed to a paste
  • 1 egg
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Gravy
  • 1/2 onion white or yellow
  • 5 oz cremini mushrooms about a dozen
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Make beef patties
  • In a large mixing bowl, add ground beef, grated parmesan, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix with fingers until the mixture becomes a bit “pasty”. This will ensure your patties hold together nicely.
  • Divide into 4 portions and pat firmly into oval patties (about 3/4-inch thick).
  • Heat oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until it begins to simmer. Add the steak and cook for about 3 minutes per side (6-8 minutes total). Remove onto a plate.
  • Gravy
  • In the same skillet, add sliced onions and mushrooms. Reduce the heat to medium. Cook for about 4 minutes or until onions are a bit translucent.
  • Add tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth. Reduce heat and simmer for about 3 minutes.
  • Pour in heavy cream, cook for a few more minutes until the sauce is slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add the patties back to the skillet. Spoon the juices over the patties.
  • Remove steaks onto a serving plate. Garnish with chopped parsley. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use lean ground chuck for the best results.
  • Make sure the skillet is very hot before adding patties. This helps to caramelize the meat nicely.
