Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 500 g ground beef, 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, 1 large egg, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
2. Step 2: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a 1-inch thick patty.
3. Step 3: Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 4 patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove patties and set aside.
4. Step 4: In the same skillet, melt 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add 2 medium thinly sliced onions and 2 minced garlic cloves. Sauté for 8-10 minutes until onions are caramelized and golden brown.
5. Step 5: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour over the onions and stir for 1 minute to cook the flour.
6. Step 6: Gradually whisk in 1 1/2 cups beef broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to loosen browned bits. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the gravy thickens.
7. Step 7: Return the beef patties to the skillet, spoon the onion gravy over them, and cook together for 2 more minutes to heat through before serving.
