1/2 cup finely chopped onions
1 large egg
1/8 tsp allspice
salt and pepper to taste
1 Tblspn of oil
1/4 lb slice mushrooms
1 1/2 cups water
3 Tblspns AP flour
1 Tblspn ketchup

Combine ground chuck, bread crumbs, 1/4 cup onions, egg and the spices. Shape into 4 oval patties. Heat oil in a skillet.
Saute beef patties, turning, until well browned and cooked through -3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove steaks from pan and keep warm. In the same pan saute remaining onions and the sliced mushrooms until golden. In a small bowl, gradually beat water into the flour. Stir into the mushroom mixture along with the ketchup. Cook, stirring to get all the brown bits loosened fron the bottom of the pan. When gravy is thick, pour over meat patties and serve.
