Ingredients

BEEF PATTIES

  • 1 lb ground beef (lean or regular)
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup gluten free breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon gluten free Worcestershire sauce*
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

ONION GRAVY

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • cups gluten free beef stock
  • tablespoon sherry (optional)
  • 2 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoon water
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a large bowl gently mix beef, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
  • Divide into 3 or 4 portions and shape into large patties. They will shrink when cooked so can be shaped fairly large.
  • Heat oil in large frying pan over medium-high heat.
  • Add patties and cook until nicely browned, about 4 minutes.
  • Flip patties over and add onion. Continue cooking until patties are browned on both sides. Leave onion in the pan and transfer patties to a plate. Cover with foil while onions continue cooking.
  • Stir onions occasionally, scraping up brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Cook until softened, about 10 minutes total.
  • Add beef stock and sherry.
  • While stock is heating, whisk cornstarch and water together in a small bowl.
  • Pour cornstarch mixture into pan and stir immediately until sauce thickens, 1-2 minutes.
  • Return beef patties to the pan, reduce heat to low and cook for 10-15 minutes until the meat is cooked through.
  • Taste and adjust for seasoning.

Notes

THICKENING GRAVY – Thicken the gravy before or after adding the meat and decide which method you prefer.
*This is my recipe for homemade Worcestershire sauce.
This recipe can be done as meatballs. Make them any size you like and adjust cooking time accordingly.
