Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1.8 pounds of ground beef, 4 tablespoons of breadcrumbs, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of coarsely ground black pepper. Add 1 grated shallot for flavor. Mix gently and shape into four equal patties.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil along with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Once melted, carefully place the patties into the skillet. Sear for about 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through to 160°F. Remove the patties and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add 2 diced shallots and 2 minced garlic cloves. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Scrape up any leftover bits from the bottom of the pan.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard, ½ teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of coarsely ground black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour. Stir and cook for about 1 minute to create a roux.
  5. Pour in ½ cup of whiskey to deglaze the pan, scraping any browned bits. Simmer for about 3 minutes until the alcohol has evaporated.
  6. Add ½ cup of beef broth, bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and stir in 1 cup of cream. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Return the seared patties to the skillet and let them simmer in the sauce for about 5 minutes.
  8. Remove from heat and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of chopped chives over the sauce. Serve hot.
