1 1/2 lbs. Finely ground beef chuck
1 can french onion soup, divided
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup fine bread crumbs
1/4 tsp. Pepper
1/2 tsp. dried marjoram leaves, crushed
1 Tbsp. Flour
1 can (3-4 oz.) sliced mushrooms or 1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/8 cup water

Have your butcher run a package of ground chuck through the grinder two more times for a fine texture. Alternately you can pulse it in your food processor.

In a large bowl, combine 1/3 can soup, ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, pepper and marjoram leaves and mix well. Shape the mixture into 4 oval patties.

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steaks approximately 8 minutes, turning once. Internal temperature should reach 160慚.

Remove the steaks from the skillet and keep them warm. Remove the fat from the skillet.

Add the remaining soup along with the flour whisking until smooth. Add the mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce and water.

Bring the mixture to boiling, stirring to loosen browned bits. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer approximately 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Serve the steaks with the soup mixture.
