1-Getting started with this recipe means gathering your ingredients and heating up your skillet, which sets the stage for a smooth cooking process. In a large bowl, mix the ground beef with panko breadcrumbs, a beaten egg, ketchup, Dijon mustard, dried oregano, and kosher salt until just combined. Shape this mixture into four oval patties, each about 3/4-inch thick, to ensure even cooking.

2-Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat and brown the patties for a few minutes on each side. Once browned, set them aside. In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour to create a smooth base for the gravy. Slowly add 1 1/2 cups of beef stock, along with 1 tablespoon of ketchup, 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder, stirring to combine.

3-Add 6 ounces of sliced cremini mushrooms to the gravy mixture and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens. Return the browned patties to the skillet, nestle them in the gravy, cover, and simmer on medium-low heat for 10 minutes or until they reach 160°F internally. For the best results, brown the patties first to enhance flavor and use the gravy to finish cooking, making sure to check the internal temperature for safety.
