Prepare the Ingredients
Crush the saltine crackers by placing them inside a freezer bag. Then roll a rolling pin over them until they are turn to powder.
Using a knife and cutting board, chop the mushrooms into small pieces. (Or slice them, if you prefer.)
Form the Steak Patties
In a large bowl, combine the ground burger, buttermilk, crushed saltines, large egg, minced onion, paprika, garlic powder, kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix together with a wooden spoon (or your hands) until combined.
Divide the meat mixture into 6-8 oblong patties.
Using a large skillet on medium-high heat, brown the patties in olive oil on each side, about 5-7 minutes per side. Place steaks on a plate.
Make the Gravy
Using the same skillet, melt butter and saute chopped mushrooms until tender 2-3 minutes.
Stir in all-purpose flour and tomato paste to make a roux.
Slowly add the broth and whisk together until sauce is smooth and starts to bubble.
Season with Worcestershire sauce, minced onion, onion powder, and salt and pepper.
Return the steaks to the pan and immerse in the gravy. Cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes, until steaks are cooked through. Serves 6-8.
