1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20 blend)
Preparation:
1. Prep the Patty: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
2. Shape the Patty: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into thick patties.
3. Searing Perfection: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the patties for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned.
4. The Flavorful Sauce: In the same skillet, add flour and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in beef broth, red wine, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened.
5. Oven-Baked Goodness: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the seared patties to a baking dish and pour the sauce over them. Cover with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
