Combine the ground beef, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of worcestershire sauce.
2 lbs lean ground beef, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 2 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 worcestershire sauce
Using your hands, form the meat mixture into 8 patties.
Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high. Brown the patties (I do mine in 2 batches -- 4 at a time) then remove them from the pan. They do not have to be cooked through, just seared.
1 tablespoon oil
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan with a pinch of salt and toss around until they begin to soften.
4 ounces shitake mushrooms, Pinch of kosher salt
Add the 2 cups of broth and work all those tasty brown bits off the bottom of the pan. It will darken it right up!
2 cups chicken broth
While the broth is lightly bubbling in the pan, make a flavor-thickening bomb -- at least that's what I call it -- by mixing the 2 tablespoon of oat flour with the remaining soy sauce and worcestershire sauce.
2 tablespoon oat flour, ¼ cup old fashioned oats
Put the flavor bomb in the broth and stir in; it should thicken almost immediately.
Return the browned steaks to the pan, coating them in the gravy. Lower to a simmer and cover for 10-15 minutes.
During that time I mash potatoes and finish up the broccoli I was roasting.
Then, voila!
