Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 ½ lbs. ground beef (85% lean)
  • 4 Tablespoons frozen butter (shredded)
  • ½ cup yellow onion (very finely minced)
  • 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
  • 3 teaspoons Worcestershire
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • Salt/Pepper
  • 2 yellow onions (sliced into ¾ inch strings)
  • 3 Tablespoons cold unsalted butter (divided)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup cold water + 3 tablespoons corn starch

Directions

  1. 1

    Gently combine the minced onions, shredded frozen butter, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and the meat. Don’t overwork the meat or it will make the steaks tough.

  2. 2

    Decrease heat to medium-low. Melt 2 Tablespoons butter in the pan and add the onions. Cook for 15-20 minutes, until the onions soften and begin to caramelize.

  3. 3

    Add the steaks back to the skillet and spoon the gravy on top. Cover for 10 minutes, or until cooked through. The internal temperature should be 160° F.
