Ingredients

Directions

  1. Coarsely chop 1 1/2 cups of the sliced mushrooms and set aside; reserve the remaining mushrooms for the sauce.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the lean ground round, chopped mushrooms, instant minced onion, and Worcestershire sauce until just mixed.
  3. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty approximately 1/4 inch thick.
  4. Sprinkle the freshly ground pepper evenly over both sides of the patties.
  5. Coat a 12-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat until hot.
  6. Add the patties to the skillet and cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through.
  7. Transfer the cooked patties to a serving platter and cover to keep warm.
  8. Reduce heat to medium. Add the reserved sliced mushrooms, wine (or broth), and water to the same skillet.
  9. Cook the mushroom mixture, stirring constantly and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, for about 3 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender and the sauce has slightly thickened.
  10. Spoon the mushroom sauce evenly over the warm beef patties and serve immediately.
