3 tbs fresh parsley, finely chopped
2 eggs
2 tbs Worcestershire sauce (check that it is gluten free)
1/2 tsp black pepper

For the gravy:

In a large bowl, combine all the patty ingredients.
Mix well to ensure that everything is evenly distributed.
Divide meat mixture into 8 even portions.
Form each portion into a flat oval shape.
In a large skillet over medium high heat, brown the patties on both sides.
Once the patties are well browned but not cooked through entirely remove to a large deep covered oven proof casserole dish which will hold them in a single layer.
In the same pan that you cooked the patties in; add the olive oil and onions.
Saute the onions until lightly browned and softened.
Add the mushrooms and brown them lightly.
Add the parsley and garlic.
Saute for 1 minute before adding the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce and mustard powder.
Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer.

Bring back to a boil then stir in the corn starch slurry.
Cook just until thickened.
Pour the gravy over the browned patties in your prepared casserole.
Bake at 350 F for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
