Veggie Burger Steak with Mushroom Gravy

Veggie burger steak with mushroom gravy is a delicious and hearty vegetarian dish that is packed with flavor. Here's a recipe to make this satisfying meal:

Ingredients:

For the veggie burger steak:

• 4 veggie burger patties (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the mushroom gravy:

• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1/2 cup milk (or plant-based milk for a vegan option)
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the veggie burger patties according to the package instructions or make your own homemade veggie burgers.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
3. Add the veggie burger patties to the skillet and cook them for a few minutes on each side until they are browned and heated through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside.
4. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they release their moisture and start to brown.
5. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well to coat them evenly. Cook for another minute or two to cook off the raw flour taste.
6. Gradually whisk in the vegetable broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Add the milk and soy sauce, and continue stirring until the gravy thickens.
7. Season the mushroom gravy with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and dried thyme. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
8. Return the veggie burger patties to the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom gravy. Simmer for a few more minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
9. Serve the veggie burger steaks with mushroom gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side dish. You can also add steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
10. Enjoy your flavorful veggie burger steak with mushroom gravy!
