Yes! Panko will give a slightly lighter texture, while traditional fine breadcrumbs will result in a denser, more “meatloaf-like” steak. Both are delicious!
Why did my steaks fall apart?
This usually happens if the pan wasn’t hot enough when you added the meat, or if the patties weren’t pressed together firmly. Make sure that oil is shimmering before you start searing!
Can I make the gravy without onions?
Absolutely. You can skip the onions and just make a brown gravy using the flour and beef broth. However, the onions add a “chef’s kiss” sweetness that really completes the dish.
Would you like me to suggest a “Creamy Mashed Potato” recipe that is designed specifically to soak up this gravy?
