Number Of Ingredients 17

6 large ground beef patties
fresh cracked pepper
kosher salt
FOR THE SAUCE
2 large onions, quartered, sliced
3 Tbsp butter, unsalted
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 1/2 c beef broth
1/4 c red wine
4 tsp worchestershire sauce
1 large bay leaf
3 Tbsp tomato paste
2 Tbsp cornstarch
2 Tbsp water to mix with cornstarch
2 Tbsp smoked paprika
3 large cloves garlic, crushed

Steps:

1. Set the meat patties out on the counter to take the chill off and pepper them. Cover with plastic wrap.
2. Prepare the sauce. In a large saute pan, heat the butter over medium heat. Saute the onions, salt and pepper. Cook for 15 minutes or until the onions are golden in color.
3. Add the broth, wine, worchestershire sauce, and bay leaf to the onions and boil gently for 10 minutes.
4. Make a paste of the cornstarch, by mixing with the water. Add cornstarch paste, along with the tomato paste, paprika, and the garlic. Cook several minutes more.
5. Now cook the patties. Salt them and fry, broil, or grill to desired doneness.
6. To serve, ladle ample sauce over each patty. Best served with mashed potatoes, ladled with additional sauce.
