Prepare the Patties
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, panko, egg, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Mix gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
- Shape the mixture into 4 equal oval-shaped patties, about 3/4-inch thick.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Sear the patties for 3–4 minutes per side until deeply browned, then remove to a plate.
Make the Gravy and Finish
- In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the sliced mushrooms and onions.
- Sauté for 5–7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and the mushrooms have released their liquid.
- Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
- Gradually whisk in the beef stock and thyme, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Return the beef patties to the skillet and simmer for 5–8 minutes until the gravy thickens and the meat is cooked through.
Notes
For the best texture, use 80/20 ground beef to ensure the patties stay moist under the high heat of the sear. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat in a skillet with a splash of water to loosen the gravy.
