Take a large bowl and add ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently with your hands until everything is combined well.

Divide the mixture into equal portions. Shape them into oval patties. Press gently so they hold together but do not overpack them. Set aside on a plate.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place patties carefully in the pan. Cook each side for about 4–5 minutes until browned. Remove and keep aside.

If you enjoy skillet-based ground beef dinners, these juicy homemade meatballs in a savory tomato sauce are another weeknight classic worth trying.

In the same pan, add butter and sliced onions. Cook until soft and slightly golden. This adds sweetness and depth to the gravy flavor.

Add flour to the pan and stir well. Slowly pour in beef broth while stirring. Add soy sauce and black pepper. Let it simmer until slightly thick. If you love a good scratch-made gravy, you will also enjoy this rich, creamy sausage gravy that works beautifully over biscuits or toast.

Place cooked patties back into the pan. Spoon gravy over them. Cover and let cook for 10–15 minutes. This helps the flavors mix together.

Check seasoning and adjust salt if needed. The gravy should be smooth and rich. The patties should be soft and fully cooked inside.

Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables. Pour extra gravy on top for best taste.
