How to Make Beef Patties With Onions
- Melt 2 ounces (57 grams) of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 large onion, thinly sliced, and cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized and golden brown (about 20-25 minutes).
- Add 2 tablespoons of water to the skillet and cook until the water has completely evaporated, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Remove the caramelized onions from the skillet and set aside, keeping them warm.
- In a bowl, gently combine 1 pound (450 grams) ground beef, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon mace (optional).
- Shape the beef mixture into four 1/2-inch thick patties.
- Dredge the patties in 1/4 cup seasoned flour (all-purpose flour seasoned with salt and pepper).
- Melt the remaining 2 ounces (57 grams) of butter in the skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the beef patties to the skillet and cook for 7-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and nicely browned.
- Arrange the cooked patties on a platter and top with the caramelized onions. Keep warm.
- In the same skillet, pour in 1/2 cup (120ml) beef stock. Bring to a simmer, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the delicious gravy alongside the beef patties.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
