Ingredients
-
1 cup chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
-
2 tablespoons steak sauce
-
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
-
1 lb ground beef
-
2 tablespoons butter

8 oz mushrooms, thinly sliced

1 cup white onion, coarsely chopped (from 1 small onion)

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
Directions
-
Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, steak sauce, and Dijon mustard. Set aside.
-
Cook the beef: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove any excess fat from the skillet.
-
Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter. Add the mushrooms and onions, and sauté for about 5 minutes, until they’re softened and browned.
-
Season and thicken: Sprinkle the Montreal steak seasoning over the vegetables and stir to combine. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir for another minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
-
Add the broth mixture: Pour the chicken broth, steak sauce, and mustard mixture into the skillet. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and the flavors meld together.
-
Serve: Spoon the hearty mixture onto buns and serve immediately. You can add your favorite toppings like cheese, pickles, or lettuce for extra flavor.
