Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds 85 percent lean ground beef
• 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons onion soup mix
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
• 1 onion, halved and thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives, minced

Forming the Patties

In a mixing bowl, blend the ground beef, panko, onion soup mix, and black pepper thoroughly by hand.

Shape this mixture into four patties, each measuring about 4 inches across and 1/2 inch thick.

Press a small indentation into the center of each patty using your fingers.

Cooking the Patties

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

Place the patties in the skillet and cook until they are well browned and reach an internal temperature of 130°F, approximately 4 minutes per side.

Remove the patties from the skillet, place them on a plate, and cover with foil to keep warm.

Making the Onion Gravy

Lower the heat to medium and add the sliced onions to the skillet.

Cook the onions until they are light brown and softened, which should take around 4 minutes.

Sprinkle in the flour and cook for another minute, stirring constantly.

Gradually whisk in the beef broth, then bring the mixture to a boil. Allow the sauce to thicken, which should take about 4 minutes.

Take the skillet off the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Finishing and Serving

Drizzle the onion gravy over the warm patties, garnish with minced chives, and serve immediately.
