Description

Juicy homemade rissoles made from ground beef and breadcrumbs, smothered in a rich, savory mushroom gravy – a comforting dinner classic perfect for family meals. This easy recipe brings old-school comfort to your table.


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

  1. 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.
  2. Shape the mixture into 8 rissoles (patties) of equal size.
  3. 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.
  4. In the same pan, melt butter and sauté mushrooms until soft and golden.
  5. Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir to coat, creating a base for the mushroom gravy.
  6. Gradually pour in the beef stock, stirring constantly, and simmer until the gravy thickens. Season with extra salt and pepper as needed.
  7. Return the rissoles to the pan, coating them in the mushroom gravy, and simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. 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.
