CREAMY MUSHROOM SMOTHERED STEAK

I love recipes that are easy, comforting, and packed with homemade flavor! These tender, juicy steaks are browned until perfectly golden, then smothered in a rich, creamy mushroom and onion gravy.

It’s the kind of cozy dinner that tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen—but it’s actually so simple!

 Ingredients

For the Steaks

• 1 ½ pounds ground beef
• ½ cup breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Creamy Mushroom Gravy

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups beef broth
• ½ cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• ½ teaspoon dried thyme
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• Salt to taste
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

 Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
2. Shape the mixture into 4–6 oval patties, depending on the size you prefer.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for about 4–5 minutes per side, until nicely browned. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
4. Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Add the sliced onions and mushrooms. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden.
5. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
6. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and onions. Stir well and cook for about 1 minute.
7. Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
8. Stir in the heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and black pepper. Let the gravy simmer for 3–5 minutes, until creamy and slightly thickened.
9. Return the browned steaks to the skillet and spoon the gravy over them.
10. Cover and simmer gently for 8–10 minutes, or until the steaks are cooked through and the gravy is rich and creamy.
11. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
