Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter (for potatoes)
  • 0.5 cup sour cream
  • 0.25 cup whole milk, warmed
  • 1 tsp kosher salt (for potatoes)
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped

Method
 

  1. Cover the cubed potatoes with cold salted water and boil over high heat, then simmer for 15 to 18 minutes until fork-tender.
  2. Mix the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Form into 4 thin patties and sear in hot vegetable oil over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side until deeply browned. Set aside.
  3. In the same skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and cook the mushrooms and onions for 10 to 12 minutes until soft and golden.
  4. Stir in the flour for 1 minute, then add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 4 to 5 minutes until the gravy coats the back of a spoon. Return the patties to the skillet and simmer for 2 more minutes.
  5. Drain the potatoes and mash with butter, sour cream, warmed milk, and salt until smooth.
  6. Spoon mashed potatoes onto each plate, top with a patty, and ladle mushrooms, onions, and gravy over everything. Garnish with chopped chives.

Notes

The gravy will thicken as it sits, so if you're plating over a few minutes, keep it on the lowest heat setting and give it a stir. You can make the mash up to 30 minutes ahead and keep it covered over very low heat; just stir in a small splash of warm milk right before serving to freshen the texture.
