Equipment

  • 2 Medium Pans
  • 1 Medium Mixing Bowl
  • Knife & cutting board

Ingredients
 

  • 400 g ground beef
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tbsp ground pepper
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tbsp barbecue seasoning mix (We like BBQ delight from Spice Professors)
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 200 g sliced mushrooms
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 2 crown broccoli
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • cooking oil

Instructions

  • Mince garlic and slice mushrooms. Cut broccoli into florets.
  • Mix ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, crushed red pepper flakes, and barbecue seasoning. Form into patties.
  • Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat and fry garlic until golden. Remove and set aside. (~1 min)
  • Cook patties in the same pan for 3-5 minutes per side until fully cooked. Set aside.
  • In a separate pan, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium-high heat and sauté broccoli with salt and pepper. Cook until Broccoli is a deep green. Remove brocolli from pan and set aside.
  • Melt remaining butter in the pan. Add mushrooms and cook until soft (~8-10 mins)
  • Reduce heat to low and stir in flour while slowly adding water until desired gravy thickness is reached. Simmer 3 minutes.
  • Add soy sauce and stir. Turn off heat.
  • Plate patties, top with mushroom gravy and crispy garlic. Serve with broccoli and rice or mashed potatoes.

Notes

  • Avoid overmixing the beef to keep patties tender.
  • Add a splash of beef broth instead of water for richer gravy.
  • For extra flavor, deglaze the pan with a small splash of broth before adding flour.
  • You can double the gravy if you prefer extra sauce.
  • We prefer a drizzling consistency for the gravy.
