Method

Main Dish Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, bread crumbs, egg, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Shape the mixture into small patties, approximately 2 inches in diameter. This should yield about 8-10 patties.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the Roux

    In the same skillet used for the patties, add butter and melt it over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes, stirring continuously to avoid burning.

  2. 5

    Prepare the Sauce

    Gradually whisk in the beef broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to thicken, about 5 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 6

    Combine with Patties

    Return the cooked patties to the skillet and simmer in the sauce for an additional 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Side Dish Preparation

  1. 7

    Prepare the Potatoes

    In a pot, add the cubed potatoes and cover them with water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 8

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, and salt. Mash until smooth and creamy.
