Mix rissole ingredients and form 12 patties, slightly indent one side to prevent doming while cooking.

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Cook the rissoles in 2 batches until lightly browned but raw inside.

Wipe the pan clean with paper towels, melt butter, and cook sliced onion for 1 minute. Then add sliced mushrooms and cook until softened, adding chopped garlic towards the end.

Lower the heat to medium, scatter flour across the surface, and stir for 1 minute. Slowly pour in half the beef stock while stirring, then add the rest of the stock, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Increase heat back to medium-high, and once it simmers, gently place the rissoles in the sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring to prevent sticking, until the sauce thickens into a thin gravy.
