A delightful twist on a classic comfort food, these savory beef patties are paired with a rich onion gravy for a satisfying meal.
Combine the ground beef, egg, black pepper, seasoning salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce in a mixing bowl.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the patties tough.
Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.
Press the patties slightly thinner in the center to ensure even cooking.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the patties until browned on both sides, about 4 minutes per side.
Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to retain their juices.
Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
Place the patties on a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, sauté the onions until softened and golden.
Stir frequently to prevent the onions from burning.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to coat.
Ensure the flour is evenly distributed to avoid lumps in the gravy.
Gradually add the beef broth and sherry, stirring constantly to create a smooth gravy.
Add the liquid slowly to control the consistency of the gravy.
Return the patties to the skillet, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld and the patties to absorb the gravy.
Serve the patties topped with the onion gravy.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
