Directions
-
In a bowl, mix the ground beef, bread crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until combined. Form the mixture into evenly sized patties, ensuring they are not too thick. This step is crucial to achieving the tremendous tenderness desired in your final dish.
-
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the patties to the pan. Cook until browned on both sides, which should take about 3-4 minutes per side. Remember not to overcrowd the skillet, as this could hinder them from achieving that beautiful, seared crust.
-
Remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside on a plate. At this point, the skillet may have some tasty bits left from cooking the patties; these will add tremendous flavor to your gravy.
-
In the same skillet, pour in the beef broth and bring it to a gentle simmer. The sizzling sound should bring a smile to your face as the broth begins to dissolve those flavorful bits left behind.
-
While waiting for the broth to heat up, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. This mixture is essential for thickening your gravy, so stir until smooth.
-
Add the cornstarch slurry to the simmering broth, stirring constantly. Within a minute or so, you will notice a thickening effect, transforming the broth into a luscious sauce.
-
Finally, return the patties to the skillet and spoon the gravy over them. Allow them to simmer together for another 5-10 minutes, letting the flavors meld into a tremendous, delightful dish.
-
Serve warm alongside your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables, for a complete meal that will leave your family craving more.
