  • Shape the mixture into 4 oval patties, about 1 inch thick. Place them on a plate and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Place the patties in the skillet, ensuring they have space between them.
  • Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside on a plate.
  • Add more olive oil, then add chopped onion and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for around 5 minutes until translucent.
  • Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, bringing to a gentle simmer and stirring occasionally for 2 minutes.
  • Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry, stir into the gravy, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until thickened.
  • Return the patties to the skillet, spoon gravy over them, and let simmer for a few minutes.
  • Serve hot, drizzled with mushroom gravy, over mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed veggies.

Notes
