Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until most of the fat is rendered but it is not yet crisp.
- Transfer the bacon to a bowl and set aside
- Add the chopped onions to the fat in the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until very soft and caramelized around the edges, about 6 minutes. Spoon out the onions and add to the bowl with bacon.
- Combine the onions with the bacon in the bowl and mix well together.
- Heat the bacon fat back up and add the mushrooms and 1 teaspoon of the salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they have released their liquid and are golden brown around the edges, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced shallots, thyme, and rosemary, and cook until the shallots are soft, about 2 minutes.
- Add the red wine and cook until almost completely evaporated.
- Sprinkle the flour over the shallots and mushrooms, and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute.
- Add the veal stock and cook for 5 minutes, until thickened.
- Add 1/2 cup of the heavy cream, stir to combine, and cook until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and the flavors come together, about 6 minutes.
- Cover and keep hot while you prepare the meat patties.
- Preheat the broiler to 500 degrees F or a large pan for pan searing patties.
- In the mixing bowl with the onion-bacon mixture, add the beef, veal, pork, 2 tablespoons of cream, egg yolks, mustard, Worcestershire Sauce, garlic, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, and pepper, and mix lightly but thoroughly.
- Shape into 4-10 oz patties, keeping the patties 1-inch thick, and transfer to a baking sheet.
- Broil or pan fry the patties for about 6 minutes on each side or until medium well.
- Add the meat pan drippings, butter, and chives to the sauce and stir until the butter is thoroughly incorporated.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Serve the patties immediately with some of the mushroom sauce ladled over the top.
