Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 lb extra lean ground beef or 1 lb ground sirloin; 1 onion, finely chopped; 3 garlic cloves, finely minced; 2 tablespoons olive oil; ½ teaspoon ground black pepper; salt; 2 ½ cups cold water; 1 (8 ounce) can sliced mushrooms; 1 bouillon cube; 6 tablespoons white flour; red wine (optional) or beer (optional)

Servings: persons

1
Mix together the ground beef, black pepper, 1/2 the onion and 1/2 the garlic.
2
Shape into 4 equal-sized patties.
3
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
4
When hot, add the beef patties.
5
Cook to desired point of doneness and until browned on each side.
6
When you flip them over, sprinkle salt to taste on the browned side.
7
Remove from pan, and while doing so flip over once again and lightly salt the other side.
8
Set aside (into a warm oven to keep them from cooling off is a good idea, especially if you're not going to put them in the gravy later).
9
De-glaze the pan with a big splash of the beer or wine, or water (about 1/4 cup).
10
Add the remaining onion and garlic, cook and stir until the liquid is almost gone.
11
At this point you have the option to make gravy, or, you can just add the canned mushrooms to the pan (with their liquid) and cook off the liquid.
12
Serve with the steaks.
13
To make the gravy, crush and dissolve the bouillon cube into the fying pan and whisk.
14
Add mushrooms (including their liquid).
15
Whisk the flour with the water (or in a shaker container) until there are no flour lumps.
16
Add to the hot frying pan, stir and simmer until it thickens.
17
Add salt & pepper to taste.
18
Add the steaks back into the pan and simmer for a couple minutes.
19
Serve with mashed potates or rice and a green vegetable.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
