Ingredients

- Breadcrumbs. I use plain, unseasoned breadcrumbs.
- Garlic, Seasoned Salt, Pepper, Onion Powder
- Worcestershire Sauce. This is a salty, savory flavored sauce that delivers a lot of flavor in such a small amount. Grab it in the same aisle as the soy sauce

Get Prepped
Heat a oil in a large skillet over medium.
Make the patties
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, seasonings, bread crumbs and egg.
Scoop the mixture out and form into patties.

Dip each patty very lightly in flour.

Cook the patties
Cook the steak pattiesย until browned (they donโt have to be fully cooked, weโll return the patties to the pan when we have made the gravy). Remove from the skillet and keep warm

Make the Gravy
In the same skillet, increase to medium-high heat, cook the sliced onions until they soften. Sprinkle the flour over the onions, and whisk in the beef stock (scraping the bottom for the brown bits).
Check for seasoning, and add the patties back to the skillet. Reduce the heat and simmer until the patties are cooked through.

Serve
Serve on top of mashed potatoes, and spoon the gravy over the top.
Devour.
