- In a sauté pan, over medium heat, drizzle the oil and add the beef patties.
- Cook for five minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the butter with the mushrooms and rest of the onion.
- Cook on medium heat for about 3 – 4 minutes or until lightly coloured.
- If using the flour, Sprinkle over the vegetables and cook the flour for 45-60 seconds.
