Critical Success Points

  • Mixing the beef patty without overworking the meat
  • Achieving a smooth, thick gravy by whisking the roux properly
  • Allowing the mushrooms and onions to caramelize without constant stirring
  • Cooking the patty to an internal temperature of 160°F
  • Frying the egg sunny‑side‑up without breaking the yolk

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot oil and butter carefully to avoid burns.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure beef reaches 160°F (71°C).
  • Watch the skillet when caramelizing mushrooms; sugars can burn quickly.
