Burger Patties

Onions

To Serve

Method

Prepare the Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a patty, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.

Cook the Patties

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Add the burger patties to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium doneness, or until cooked to your desired temperature.

Prepare the Onions

  1. 5

    Slice the Onion

    While the patties are cooking, slice the medium onion into thin rings.

  2. 6

    Sauté the Onions

    In a separate pan, add a little olive oil over medium heat and sauté the onion rings until they are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

Make the Gravy

  1. 7

    Make a Roux

    In the same skillet used for the patties, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

  2. 8

    Add Broth and Seasoning

    Slowly whisk in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add salt and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.

Assemble the Burger Plate

  1. 9

    Build the Burgers

    Place each burger patty on a bun, top with sautéed onions, and cheese if desired. Add lettuce and tomato slices.

  2. 10

    Serve with Gravy

    Serve the burgers on a plate with a generous ladle of gravy poured over the top.
