  • ½ cup yellow onion (very finely minced)
  • 2 teaspoons yellow mustard

  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
  3. Carefully add hamburger patties to the skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until nicely browned and fully cooked through.
  4. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  5. Add sliced yellow onions to the same skillet and cook slowly, stirring often, until soft and caramelized.
  6. Stir in cold unsalted butter until melted and glossy.
  7. Pour in chicken broth and beef broth; bring to a gentle simmer.
  8. Add onion powder, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper; adjust seasoning to taste.
  9. In a small bowl, whisk cold water and corn starch until smooth to make a slurry.
  10. Slowly whisk the slurry into the simmering gravy while stirring constantly until it thickens.
  11. Return hamburger patties to the skillet, nestle into the gravy, and simmer for a few minutes to reheat and meld flavors. Serve hot.

Notes

Use 85% lean ground beef to maintain juiciness and flavor., Do not overmix the beef to avoid tough patties., Ensure the skillet is properly heated before searing the patties to get a good crust., Let cooked patties rest before serving to retain juices., Slice onions uniformly for even caramelization., Worcestershire sauce enhances savory flavors., Frozen shredded butter in the patties keeps them juicy.
