In a bowl, combine 2 lbs of ground chuck, Cajun spice, onion powder, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, panko bread crumbs, a splash of water, and 1 egg.

Mix the ingredients well and shape the mixture into oval patties.

Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the patties, cooking for 4-5 minutes on one side.

Flip the patties and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until seared on both sides.

Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside, draining some of the fat but leaving the drippings.

Add butter to the skillet, then add sliced onions and sliced mushrooms, sautéing for 5-7 minutes.

Sprinkle salt over the vegetables to release moisture, then add minced garlic and sauté briefly.

Add all-purpose flour to the mixture and stir until no flour is visible.

Pour in beef broth and bring to a simmer.

Return the patties to the skillet and simmer for 15 minutes until the meat is cooked through and the gravy thickens.
