Preparation Steps

  • Stir breadcrumbs and milk in a bowl; let them hydrate for 3 minutes.

  • Add ground beef and gently combine. Shape four oval patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Brown patties 3–4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add butter and onions to the skillet. Cook until deep golden, 8–10 minutes.
  • Sprinkle flour over onions and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  • Whisk in beef broth, Worcestershire, and thyme. Simmer until the gravy thickens.
  • Nestle patties into the gravy. Simmer 6–8 minutes until cooked through.
  • Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley and serve.

Notes

Try adding sliced mushrooms with the onions for a hearty mushroom-onion gravy. Serve over mashed potatoes, buttered egg noodles, or rice. Leftovers keep 3 days in the fridge; reheat gently with a splash of broth.
