Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire Sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Mix well and shape the meat mixture into four oval patties.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat for about a minute, then add the olive oil.
  • Place the meat patties in the skillet and cook them for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until they’re well-browned.
  • Remove the patties from the skillet, cover with foil, and set them aside.
  • Add the chopped onions to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low.
  • Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they are translucent and caramelized, about 20 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the onions, and whisk for a minute or two. Gradually stir in the beef consommé and thyme and raise the heat back to medium.
  • Add the patties back to the skillet.
  • Bring to a simmer, cover and cook the for 10 to 15 more minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 for medium-rare or 160 for medium.
  • Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning if needed.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve topped with gravy.
