Ingredients
Scale
- 500g ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 250g fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 cups beef stock
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, onion, egg, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined to form your rissole mixture.
- Shape the mixture into 8 rissoles (patties) of equal size.
- Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and cook the rissoles for 4–5 minutes on each side or until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, melt butter and sauté mushrooms until soft and golden.
- Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir to coat, creating a base for the mushroom gravy.
- Gradually pour in the beef stock, stirring constantly, and simmer until the gravy thickens. Season with extra salt and pepper as needed.
- Return the rissoles to the pan, coating them in the mushroom gravy, and simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving if desired.
Notes
- If your rissole mixture is too sticky, wet your hands to help with shaping.
- The mushroom gravy thickens as it cools, so aim for a slightly runnier consistency than you think you need.
- This dish is often even tastier the next day.
- For a gluten-free option, use a cornstarch slurry instead of flour for the gravy.
