Notes

Use 80/20 ground beef for juicy steaks., For gluten-free, substitute panko and flour with gluten-free alternatives or use a cornstarch slurry to thicken gravy., Variations include adding mushrooms to gravy, making meatballs, slow cooker method, or adding cheese on top., Leftovers freeze well for up to 3 weeks; reheat by baking at 350°F for 30-40 minutes., Use ground turkey or chicken with extra olive oil or an egg for moisture if desired.
