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)

• 1 teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning

• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

1. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, steak sauce, and Dijon mustard. Set aside.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. Serve: Spoon the hearty mixture onto buns and serve immediately. You can add your favorite toppings like cheese, pickles, or lettuce for extra flavor.
