Number Of Ingredients 18

FOR BEEF PATTIES
2 lb beef, ground
4 Tbsp dry onion soup mix (i use my own verion of this, also on jap)
1/4 c worcestershire sauce
2 eggs
1 c bread crumbs
2 Tbsp parsley flakes
2 garlic cloves, minced (i use my zester to make it very small)
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
FOR CARAMELIZED ONIONS
1-2 onions, sliced
1/4 - 1/2 c olive oil (enough to keep onions moist during sauteing)
1/2 c broth, veggie or chicken (to deglaze the pan as you saute the onions)
FOR WONDRA GRAVY
6-8 c beef broth
12- 16 Tbsp wondra
1 1/2 - 2 c water

Steps:

1. Read through all of the instructions prior to starting. Prepare the meat mixture. Beef, soup mix, Worcestershire, eggs, bread crumbs, parsley, yeast, garlic, black and red pepper. Mix thoroughly and cover with plastic wrap. Set aside in fridge until ready to make dinner.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet and add sliced onions over medium to medium/low heat. You can start this step prior to forming the meat patties, this will take some time to completely sweat the onions and turn them into a lovely caramel color. When onions begin to dry out, add some broth to the pan to bring moisture back into it and keep the onions from sticking/or burning. Serve onions on the top of the steaks and gravy. Also you can make extra to be served as an additional side.
3. At dinner time, prepare patties in whatever size you prefer. {We generally use a scale to weigh all of the ingredients, then divide them by however many patties you want to serve.}
4. Heat up a large skillet and brown the patties on each side, 4 - 5 minutes per side.
5. While patties are browning, make your favorite brown gravy. We use beef broth, Wondra, 1t. Worcestershire sauce, Garlic salt and pepper. Mix as directed on the side of the Wondra can for broth gravy. Pour gravy over steaks and reduce to simmer for 25 minutes or so.
6. Serve steaks with gravy ladled over and caramelized onions on top. Excellent with Garlic mashed potatoes, or noodles or rice. Enjoy and remember... Hug each Other!
