Chopped Steak with Mushroom Gravy Recipe

Course Main Course
Servings 4

Ingredients

For the Chopped Steak Patties:

  • 2 pounds ground sirloin
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons butter divided

For the Mushroom Gravy:

  • 1 1/2 pounds button mushrooms sliced
  • 1 large onion peeled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 1/2 cup cooking sherry
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ground sirloin, egg, panko, Worcestershire, salt and all spices. Mix by hand to evenly distribute the spices throughout the meat. Then divide into 6 equal portions, and press into 1/2 inch patties.
  • Let a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter. Once melted, add the chopped steak patties to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes per side, flipping once. Then move the chopped steak patties to a holding plate and cover tightly with foil.
  • While the patties are cooking, chop the onion and thinly slice the mushrooms.
  • Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the empty pan. Once melted, place the onions in the pan and sauté for 3 minutes. Then stir in the mushroom and thyme. Cook the mushrooms for about 5 minutes, to sweat out the juices.
  • Stir in the flour. Cook and stir for 1-2 minutes to lightly brown the flour. Then stir in the beef broth and sherry. Simmer and thicken for 5-7 minutes. Once the gravy is the consistency you like, place the patties back in the gravy to rewarm.
  • Serve the chopped steak warm with a generous portion of mushroom gravy. Serve with mashed potatoes or mashed cauliflower.
